Abstract
BELTRAN, William Mauricio and QUIROGA, Jesús David. Pentecostalism and electoral politics in Colombia (1991-2014). colomb.int. [online]. 2017, n.91, pp.187-212. ISSN 0121-5612. https://doi.org/10.7440/colombiaint91.2017.06.
This article presents a balance upon the participation of the evangelic-Pentecostal movement in the Colombian electoral politics between 1991-2014. It describes the genesis of the electoral participation of this religious movement telling about the track record of its main leaders and political organizations (parties or movements). It presents the strategies implemented to benefit from its religious authority in the electoral field. It finally brings about a balance of achievements of the Pentecostal movement within the electoral politics and any reasons preventing the consolidation of a sole political movement representing the interests of this religious movement.
