DescriptionRight-of-center, anti-Communist, Anti-American party led by 2019 presidential candidate José Isabel Blandón and the nation's third largest. Party was founded by oft-time Panamanian President, Arnulfo Arias Madrid (1940-1941, 1949-1951 and 1968). Party was borne from the Anti-American, nationalist ideas of the Acción Comunal movement in the 1920s and was initially launched as the National Revolutionary Party. Party was briefly renamed the Partido Arnulfista in 1991 by the widow of Arnulfo Arias, Mireya Moscoso, who would go on to become President of Panama from September 1, 1999 to August 31, 2004, reverting back to its old name in 2005. Party had began to ally with the Partido Popular and on November 25, 2018 joined forces to form the PANAMÁ PODEMOS coalition ahead of the May 2019 general election, nominating José Isabel Blandón for Panama president. The alliance picked up 8 seats in the National Assembly, but proved disastrous for both partners in different ways; the Popular Party failed to win races both federally and municipally, while the Panameñistas suffered their worst defeat, finishing fourth in the presidential race.
