^ A: According to several political analysts and media outlets, the party falls on the far-right of the political spectrum.[7][8][9][10][11][12][13] Other media outlets described the party as centre-right,[14][15][16] or right-wing.[17]

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.[18] 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.[19] 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.[20] 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.[21][22]

Party status

Hernández submitted an application with the National Electoral Council (CNE) on 19 July 2022 for LIGA to be granted legal status as a political party. In the submission, Hernández emphasised his presidential ticket's second place in the presidential election and how he and Castillo had taken their respective seats in the senate and chamber of representatives reserved for the second place presidential and vice presidential candidates. He also mentioned LIGA's convention, which declared its opposition to the government of Gustavo Petro. The CNE granted legal party status to LIGA on 4 August, and Hernández became the party's president. He appointed his wife, Socorro Oliveros as national director.[23]

Igualmente, todo parecía indicar que, en esta ocasión, "el que diga Uribe" era el candidato Federico Gutiérrez, quien oficialmente estaba apoyado por el partido uribista Centro Democrático; mientras que otro de los candidatos, que "desprevenidamente" ya había manifestado afectos por Uribe, se mostraba "independiente" y "ajeno al uribismo", era avalado por un partido escoba o "atrapalotodo", denominado Liga de Gobernantes Anticorrupción, fundado en 2019 con la finalidad específica de avalar la candidatura presidencial de Rodolfo Hernández (de 77 años), terminó siendo el "as bajo la manga" de Uribe y sus seguidores, con quienes realmente, pero de manera subrepticia, hacía equipo. [Likewise, everything seemed to indicate that, on this occasion, “whoever Uribe says” was the candidate Federico Gutiérrez, who was officially supported by the Uribe party Centro Democrático; while another of the candidates, who “inadvertently” had already expressed affection for Uribe, was “independent” and “foreign to Uribeism”, was endorsed by a broom or “catch-all” party, called the League of Anti-Corruption Governors, founded in 2019 with the specific purpose of endorsing the presidential candidacy of Rodolfo Hernández (77 years old), ended up being the “ace up the sleeve” of Uribe and his followers, with whom he really, but surreptitiously, made a team.]
