The New Republic Party (Spanish: Partido Nueva República) is a Costa Rican conservative political party founded on 20 October 2018. The party was founded after the resignation of the evangelical singer and journalist Fabricio Alvarado Muñoz from the Christian party National Restoration for disagreements with the Executive Committee chaired by Congressman Carlos Avendaño. Alvarado was the latter's presidential candidate in the 2018 elections of major significance, since he was the most voted in the first round with 25% of the votes, qualifying for the run-off, but was defeated by the Citizen's Action Party nominee Carlos Alvarado Quesada.[1][2]
After a series of disputes arising from irregular contracts made by the campaign team without permission from the Executive Committee and the apparent payment of the surveys published by the firm OPol Consultores, there were mutual accusations between Alvarado and Avendaño[3] that led to the exit of the former and the foundation of his own party together with the majority of deputies elected by PRN.[4]
The party finalized the recollection of signatures required by the Supreme Electoral Tribunal (at least 3000, although the group managed to collect 5000) and carried out the 82 cantonal assemblies that culminated in the founding National Assembly on 30 January 2019.[5]
