  • The political movement Vamos is holding a General Assembly to discuss its potential transformation into a political party.
  • Approval by a majority vote is required to proceed with the party formation process.
  • The process includes collecting signatures equivalent to 2% of the votes from the last presidential election.

The political movement Vamos is convening a General Assembly to deliberate on a significant potential shift: its transformation into a formal political party. This move, if approved by a majority of members, would initiate a structured process for establishing a new political entity in Panama.

Should the proposal gain sufficient support, Vamos would then embark on the official procedures for party formation. A key requirement involves a substantial signature collection campaign. Organizers must gather signatures equivalent to at least 2% of the valid votes cast in the most recent presidential election.

This potential transition reflects a strategic decision by Vamos to solidify its political presence and operations. The process of becoming a registered party is often complex, involving legal and logistical hurdles, including the signature threshold designed to ensure a movement has broad-based support before it can officially contest elections as a political party.
