Unionist Party (Guatemala)

In the run-up to the elections in 2007, the party nominated Rudy Vinicio Pozuelos Alegría, who was investigated for his role in the murder of bishop Juan José Gerardi Conedera on 26 April 1998 in his function as the former head of the Presidential General Staff, for a seat in the congressional delegation from the Chimaltenango Department.

[21] In the same month, Héctor Cifuentes was also arrested for illegal party financing, but after changes to the law in 2022, charges were dropped in October 2022 and he was released.

The party contested the presidential elections with Pablo Duarte and Roberto Villeda as their ticket, falling to 1.4% of the vote.

[25] In October 2019, the party supported the impeachment of the Ombudsman for Human Rights, Jordán Rodas, for his alleged inaction in five different cases, in Congress.

The party's reduced popular support has not allowed it to achieve a significant number of public positions, preventing it from consolidating a defined ideology.

It is a notably nationalist movement, socially conservative but at the same time promoting a free market economy.
