The political movement Coalición Vamos has initiated the process to be recognized as a formal political party in Panama by submitting over 70,000 signatures to the Electoral Tribunal. Along with the signatures, the coalition provided legal requirements including proposed statutes and a government plan. President Juan Diego Vásquez stated the submission complies with electoral laws and represents “the hope for a different future for the country.”

Following the submission, the movement has faced scrutiny regarding the legality of its registration approach. Critics, including former Panameñista party president José Blandón Figueroa, have questioned whether the group is attempting to bypass standard procedures that require being recognized as a party in formation before achieving full status. The controversy is further complicated by ongoing debates regarding electoral reforms that could change signature requirements for new parties.
