The Progressive Party (Spanish: Partido Progresista, PRO) was a political party in Chile. It was founded in 2010 by former Socialist deputy and presidential candidate Marco Enriquez-Ominami. It is the political successor of the coalition New Majority for Chile.[3][4]
The political party was composed of Enriquez-Ominami supporters in the presidential campaign of 2009, former members of the Concertación, and other leftist political movements. After a process of collecting signatures, it was enrolled in some regions.
The party saw minimal success, only winning a maximum of two seats in the Chamber of Deputies.
It lost registration after failing to gain at least 5% of the popular vote in the 2021 parliamentary elections.[5]
The following is a list of the presidential candidates supported by the Progressive Party. (Information gathered from the Archive of Chilean Elections).
