It was initiated by a group of retired army officers, including veterans of Guatemalan Civil War, affiliated with the Military Veterans Association of Guatemala ''AVEMILGUA''. FCN did not nominate a presidential candidate in the 2011 general elections, but contested the Congressional elections, receiving 0.5% of the vote and failing to win a seat.〔(Republic of Guatemala: Legislative elections of 11 September 2011 ) Adam Carr〕 In March 2013, the party chose the popular comic TV actor Jimmy Morales as its secretary-general. Jimmy Morales was the party's presidential candidate in the 2015 elections, which he won, receiving the greatest vote share in the first round (24%) and beating former first lady Sandra Torres in the run-off with 67.44% of the vote. In the Congressional elections FCN received the fifth-highest vote share at 9%, winning 11 of the 158 seats.〔(Congresistas señalados son reelectos ) Prensa Libre, 8 September 2015〕 FCN's head of the national list was Édgar Justino Ovalle Maldonado who is considered to be Jimmy Morales' "right-hand man". He commanded counter-insurgency operations in the Ixil Community in the early 1980s during which several massacres against the Ixil Mayas took place. The violence against the Ixil was acknowledged as a genocide by the Supreme Court of Guatemala, but is denied by Jimmy Morales. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「National Convergence Front」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
