Social Christian Party (ecuador)




The Social Christian Party (''Partido Social Cristiano'') is a centre-right Political Party in Ecuador . The party's popularity is greatest on the coast, particularly Ecuador's economic center and most populous city, Guayaquil . The PSC is the most important party in coastal provinces such as Guayas , El Oro , Los Rios , Esmeraldas , and Manabi , which constitute about half of the country's population. However, as a sign of how divided the country is regionally, the PSC has little power in the Andean region. Thus, while holding all major positions in Guayas and Guayaquil, the PSC has not held the presidential office since the highly effective presidency of León Febres-Cordero , who remains the power broker of the party.
Its candidate Antonio Xavier Neira Menéndez won 12.2 % of the vote in the presidential Elections of 20 october 2002.
