Vamos (; officially Vamos por una Guatemala Diferente, ) is a conservative political party in Guatemala.
History The political party was founded and registered by the Supreme Electoral Tribunal in 2017. Its leader and general secretary is Alejandro Giammattei, a three-time presidential candidate. Giammattei declared that the political party would be his platform to run in the 2019 general election.
Vamos defines itself as a center-right political party. It held its first national assembly in October 2018, proclaiming Giammattei as its presidential candidate. In the 2019 Guatemalan general elections, Alejandro Giammattei was elected president of the Republic.
The party has been criticized by some as a result of some former military officers who were accused of war crimes joining the party.
