TheGreen Alliance (Spanish:Alianza Verde) is agreen political party in Colombia.[1] The party advocatessocial justice,electoral reform andeconomic sustainability.[2]
The party supports theColombian peace process and formed the electoral alliance Coalition Colombia with centrist and centre-left parties such as Civic Compromise to present a single presidential candidate,Sergio Fajardo in the2018 presidential election.[3]
The party was founded on November 25, 2005, inBogotá by a group of people headed byCarlos Ramón González Merchan andElías Pineda.[citation needed]

The party also obtained 23 municipal mayors.[4]
Three independent former mayors of Bogotá,Luis Eduardo Garzón,Antanas Mockus, andEnrique Peñalosa, formed an alliance to choose an independent candidate for the presidency. However, they required a political structure. The ad-hoc coalition merged with the Centre Option Green Party, which changed its name to Green Party.
