A political party is an organized group of people, often with common views, who come together to contest elections and hold power in the government. The party agrees on some proposed policies and programmes, with a view to promoting the collective good or furthering their supporters' interests.
The FRAMPO was created in 1977 by Renato Pereira, a former leader of the Federation of Students, and Miguel Montiel [1] and was accorded legal recognition as a party in 1979. [2]
The FRAMPO was a pro-Torrijos and a pro-government group oriented slightly to the left of the PRD. [3] It joined the UNADE coalition behind official candidate Nicolás Ardito Barletta in 1984, but lost legal status by failing to win 3 percent of total vote in the Panamanian general election, 1984.
