Conscience of Fatherland

CONDEPA was founded in Tiwanaku on September 21, 1988. The party was primarily based in the La Paz Department. It borrowed katarista symbols and used the wiphala flag. Palenque often used references to Aymara culture in his campaigns. ==Election history==

The party won strong support amongst urban poor, amongst Aymaras that had migrated to the urban centres. It was discredited by having entered into Hugo Banzer's government. Ahead of the 2002 general election, CONDEPA launched Nicolás Valdivia as its presidential candidate and Esperanza Huanca as vice-presidential candidate. CONDEPA lost all of its 22 seats in the Congress of Bolivia in the elections. The implosion of CONDEPA enabled the nascent Movement for Socialism to gain a wide following amongst indigenous urban poor. ==See also==
