National Democratic Reconciliation Party

The National Democratic Reconciliation Party (Spanish: Partido Reconciliacion Democratica Nacional, PRDN or REDENCION) was a moderate conservative party in Guatemala.

The PRDN was founded in March 1950 by General Miguel Ydígoras Fuentes.

[1] Ydígoras finished as the runner-up in the November 1950 presidential elections with 19% of the vote.

He finished as runner-up again in the 1957 elections, but the results were annulled due to fraud.

In the fresh elections the following year, Ydígoras received the largest vote share (41%) and was confirmed as President by a vote in Congress, in which the PRDN-led coalition had won a majority of seats.
