Political career

Alejandro Giammattei began his political life participating in electoral activities in the years of 1985, 1988 and 1990 as general coordinator of the electoral processes while assuming the positions that were granted him. Thanks to these activities, Giammattei was taken with relevance at a national and international level under the orders of former Vice President of the Republic of Guatemala Arturo Herbruger Asturias.

The first time happened in 2007, with the then Official Party Great National Alliance GANA with a very good participation and the second happened in 2011 with the Social Action Center Party but with many difficulties, which caused the Party would be extinguished because it did not reach the minimum percentage of votes required by the TSE. In the elections of 2015, he is thrown into the presidency with the FUERZA party.[5]
