history
The party was founded on November 25, 2005 in Bogotá as Partido Verde Opción Centro by a group around Carlos Ramón González and Elías Pineda . Before that, from 1998 to 2005 there was already a green party in Colombia, the Partido Verde Oxígeno of the Colombian politician Íngrid Betancourt .
In the Colombian regional elections on October 28, 2007, the party surprisingly won the governor's seat of the Cesar department with the candidate Cristian Moreno Panezo and in the Boyacá department with José Roso Millán . They also appointed 23 mayors after the same election.
Before the Colombian congressional elections on March 14, 2010, the former mayors of Bogotá Luis Eduardo Garzón , Antanas Mockus and Enrique Peñalosa formed an alliance to put up an independent candidate for the 2010 presidential election and merged with the existing party and other local politicians into a joint party, which was then reconstituted on October 2, 2009 as Partido Verde . Antanas Mockus was nominated as a presidential candidate. On the same day, the party won five seats in the parliamentary elections in the Senate of the Colombian Congress . As a result, the previous independent candidate for the presidential election, Sergio Fajardo, joined the Partido Verde and was nominated by them as Mockus' vice-presidential candidate.
In the election in May 2010 , Mockus received 21.5 percent of the vote and came second in the runoff election in June. In this he was defeated by Juan Manuel Santos with 27.5 percent of the vote .
After Mockus left the party in 2011, he returned to the Senate in 2018 as No. 1 on the Allianza Verde's list in the parliamentary elections in Colombia in 2018 and achieved the highest number of votes in the capital Bogotá with 536,252 votes.
In the parliamentary elections in Colombia in 2014 , the party won five senatorial seats in the Senate of Colombia and six seats in the House of Representatives of Colombia .
In the parliamentary elections in Colombia in 2018 on March 11, 2018, the party won nine senatorial seats in the Senate of Colombia and ten seats in the House of Representatives of Colombia.
