Esperanza por el Cambio (English: Hope for Change) is a Venezuelan political party registered by the National Electoral Council (CNE) with the shortened name El Cambio (Change).[1][2] In the 2018 presidential election, Venezuelan pastor and party leader Javier Bertucci received enough votes to turn Hope for Change into an official political party.[3] Aside from Bertucci, other leaders of the party include Alfonso Campos, the party's Secretary-General, Jeickson Portillo, its National Coordinator, and Luis Adames, its Undersecretary.[4][5]

History

[edit]

On 21 February 2018, Javier Bertucci, an evangelical pastor who founded the Christian organization El Evangelio Cambia,[6] announced his candidacy in the 2018 Venezuelan presidential election.[7][8] Bertucci renounced his pastorship in compliance with Venezuelan electoral regulations, which state that presidential candidates must not be affiliated with any religious organizations.[9][10] Early support for his campaign came from people who had previously known him due to his pastorship and establishment of the "Maranatha Venezuela" church.[11] On 28 February, a group of his supporters registered the Hope for Change (Spanish: Esperanza por El Cambio) political party with the CNE to help draw further support for his candidacy.[12] To gain further support among the poor, Hope for Change held soup kitchens, claiming that people wouldn't listen to speeches if they were starving.[13][14]

On 21 September 2018, Alfonso Campos, the General Secretary of Hope for Change, announced that the party was running municipal election candidates in 335 municipalities, in addition to confirming a national tour by Javier Bertucci.[15][16] On 6 October, Hope for Change announced that it had formed an alliance with COPEI, MAS, AP, CMC, and MOVEV.[17][18] At a press conference in Caracas on 22 November, Bertucci announced that Hope for Change was running 4,430 candidates in the municipal elections.[19]

Bertucci received 1,015,895 votes in the presidential election, over 10% of the total votes, placing behind the incumbent Nicolás Maduro and Progressive Advance candidate Henri Falcón.[20] The Hope for Change candidate for the municipal election in the state of Bolívar won their election.[21][22]
