The movement was born around the year 2015 under the name United Ecuadorian Movement by Lenin Moreno's brother, Edwin Moreno.[2] In the 2019 Ecuadorian local elections, they obtained the prefecture of Zamora Chinchipe in alliance with the Juntos Podemos movement, Unidad Popular, Democracia Sí and the Ecuadorian Socialist Party with Cléver Jiménez as a candidate.[3]
In the 2021 Ecuadorian presidential election, its candidate was Pastor Gerson Almeida, whose candidacy called himself "pro-life".[4] Almeida's candidacy received criticism from progressives for his opposition to abortion[5] and homosexuality.[6]
In November 2021, the National Electoral Council canceled the registry of United Ecuadorian due to not getting the minimum of votes to keep its registry in two consecutive elections.[7] Later in 2022, People, Equality and Democracy was admitted in the electoral registry, keeping the same number of list than United Ecuadorian, the 4.[1]
As PID
[edit]For the 2023 Ecuadorian presidential election, PID is one of two parties which forms the National Democratic Action alliance that supports the candidacy of Daniel Noboa Azin for President of Ecuador.[8][9] Arturo Moreno Encalada himself, the founder of the party, gained a bench for the National Assembly at the same general election.[10]
