The New Generation Party (Spanish: Partido Nueva Generación) is a conservative political party in Costa Rica. The party was founded in 2012 in order to partake in the 2014 general election.
In the 2014 election its nominee was party's founder Sergio Mena, former councilor of Montes de Oca municipal council and president of this.[2] Mena was also first in parliamentary list, but the party did not earn enough votes to enter Parliament and Mena himself received 1.2% of the presidential ticket.[1]
Yet, in the following 2016 mid-term municipal elections, the party won three cantons therefore electing three mayors and many councilors, and placed in fourth after some of Costa Rica's major parties like PLN, PAC and PUSC.[3] Most of the party's candidates though were already well known political figures rejected by their original parties. It's currently under talks for a nation-wide multi-party coalition with different conservative parties.[4]
