The Authentic Renewal Organization (ORA) is an Evangelical and Pentecostal political party in Venezuela, originally founded in 1988 by Godofredo Marín and Carlos Mendez.
[1] The ORA does not align itself with any specific political ideology, but believes itself to be a form of government under the "sacred and noble Christian principles of love, peace, faith, and hope".
[2] In its first electoral participation, the party nominated one of its founders, Godofredo Ramón Marín, as a candidate for the general elections of 1988.
In 1997, the party was thrown into conflict when one sector decided to support the candidacy of Claudio Fermín for the presidency of the Republic.
This support is still maintained today, although the organization has submitted its candidates for the municipal elections in Venezuela, which were held on December 8, 2013.
