Social Christian Republican Party

The Social Christian Republican Party is a Costa Rican political party founded in 2014 by former president Rafael Ángel Calderón Fournier and his group of supporters as a splinter from the historical Social Christian Unity Party (PUSC).

[3] The Party was created soon after the Calderonistas left PUSC due to unusually harsh clashes among the Calderonista and Liberal factions inside the party during the general election of 2014.

Both factions have been historically rivals but generally work together after the primaries.

However, after the 2013 presidential primary (in which the Calderonista candidate Dr. Rodolfo Hernández won), internal fighting between Hernández and the Liberal-led National Committee caused Hernández's resignation.

Its candidate for the 2018 Costa Rican general election, is Hernández.
