League of Anti-Corruption Governors
political party in Colombia
The League of Anti-Corruption Governors (Spanish: Liga de Gobernantes Anticorrupción; LIGA) is a Colombian political movement, created in October 2019 by the former mayor of Bucaramanga, Rodolfo Hernández Suárez, and by the candidates for the 2020–2023 municipal council. It was conceived as an independent civic alternative to traditional political parties and ideologies, with the purpose of reaching the presidency of the republic in the 2022 election. Earlier, in the 2015 local elections, Rodolfo Hernández managed to reach the Mayor's Office of Bucaramanga through an independent candidacy via the "Movimiento Cívico Lógica Etica y Estética", previously founded by Hernández to support his political campaign. In May 2022, Hernández finished in second place in the first round of the presidential elections, proceeding to the second round against Gustavo Petro. He finished in second place in the second round as well.
History
Formation and 2022 elections
The League of Anti-Corruption Governors originated from the Civic Movement "Logic, Ethics, and Aesthetics" (Movimiento Cívico Lógica, Ética y Estética), an independent initiative established in 2015 to support civil engineer Rodolfo Hernández Suárez's successful mayoral campaign in Bucaramanga. In October 2019, Hernández formalized the movement alongside candidates for the Bucaramanga municipal council. The movement's platform centered on anti-corruption policies and fiscal austerity, aiming to serve as the political vehicle for his 2022 presidential bid.
For the 2022 Colombian presidential election, the movement registered Hernández and academic Marelen Castillo as his vice-presidential running mate via signature collection. Campaigning heavily on social media under the slogan "Don't steal, don't lie, don't betray" (No robar, no mentir, no traicionar), the ticket advanced to the second round.

Why this record matters
The phrase “political party in Colombia” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 12, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q111680400. None of the 2 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2019, 2020, 2023 and 2022.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
