The Salvadoran Independent Party (, abbreviated PAIS) is a Salvadoran political party.
History
The Salvadoran Independent Party was established by Roy García in October 2021. The party was registered with the Supreme Electoral Court (TSE) in November 2021. He was later suspended by the party. García was a potential candidate for president in the 2024 presidential election. Another potential presidential candidate, Gerardo Awad, was suspended by the party in July 2022.
On 28 August 2023, Carlos Molina, the party's deputy secretary, announced that it selected José Rodolfo Cardoza Salguero, an agricultural engineer, as its presidential candidate and Irma Sosa Pineda as its vice presidential candidate. García later stated that Molina's announcement was illegitimate and that the candidates presented were both invalid.
