The party was established to formalise an alliance between the major conservative parties of Ecuador at that time, and Guayaquil businessmen, one of the main public supporters of Ecuador's political right wing [1] Led by León Febres Cordero, elected leader of the conservative Partido Social Cristiano (Social Christian Party),[1] the rest of the parties constituting the National Reconstruction Front included, the Partido Conservador Ecuatoriano (Conservative Ecuadorian Party), Partido Liberal Radical Ecuatoriano (Radical Liberal Ecuadorian Party), Partido Nacionalista Revolucionario (Revolutionary Nationalist Party), Coalición Institucionalista Democrática,(Institutional Democratic Coalition) and Federación Nacional Velasquista (National Velasquista Federation).[2]
The main objectives which underpinned the formation of this coalition were, to strengthen the solidarity between conservative parties,[1] resolve pre-existing divisions, share resources in order to form a strong opposition, and administer an effective political campaign.[2] It was envisioned that such efforts would also transfer to effectively convincing Ecuadorian voters of their intention to implement a more conservative economic agenda of free-market politics.[3] Given that this would shift the direction of economic policy away from the statist, paternalistic model that guided that of the current, left-leaning administration, the coalition's political strategy in achieving this would prove vital.[1]
