Radical Action Party

The Radical Action Party (in Spanish: Partido Acción Radical, PAR) was a Panamanian small centre-right political party.

It was founded prior to the 1964 elections by Norberto Navarro, ex-minister, former dissident of the Authentic Revolutionary Party and former leader of the short-lived Independent Revolutionary Party (PRI), which disintegrated in 1953 after José Antonio Remón Cantera put through the law requiring 45000 adherents for legal parties.[1]

For the 1964 elections, the PAR presented its presidential candidate, Norberto Navarro, but he unsuccessfully ran in the presidential elections, obtaining only 3,708 votes (01.14%).[2]

The PAR was abolished by the Electoral Tribunal in 1964.[3]
