Vamos () is a Salvadoran political party that was registered in November 2017. The party was described by inaugural leader Josué Alvarado as being a "project of ideas, principles and values" that accepts individuals from the political left and right.

History Vamos was registered to the Supreme Electoral Court (TSE) on 4 November 2017 obtaining 57,382 required signatures, and was legalised on 11 November 2017. Despite registering in 2017, the party was not permitted to participate in the 2018 elections as it missed the deadline for internal party elections.

Vamos participated for the first time in the 2019 presidential election, with the party's membership electing Josué Alvarado as their presidential candidate and Roberto Rivera Ocampo for the vice-presidential candidate. They received 0.76% of the popular vote.

In the 2021 legislative election, the party received 1.01% of the popular vote. They won one seat from the constituency of the department of San Salvador, represented by deputy Claudia Ortiz.

In the 2024 presidential election, the party did not field a candidate for President of El Salvador. The party reelected its one deputy, Claudia Ortiz, to the National Assembly. The party did not elect any mayors.

Ideology In 2017, then-national coordinator and former deputy Josué Alvarado described the party as a "project of ideas, principles and values" that rejects "messianic leaders".
