In September 2025, six assembly members of Pachakutik were expelled from the movement for aligning with the government and voting with the ruling party, leading to a push for training organic units to prevent future occurrences.
In September 2025, six assembly members from the Pachakutik movement were expelled due to their alignment with the official government and their votes alongside the ruling party, Acción Democrática Nacional (ADN). This decision highlighted tensions within the party, as these members' actions were seen as a betrayal to the core principles of Pachakutik, a movement rooted in indigenous representation and resistance against governmental policies they oppose. To mitigate further internal conflicts and prevent similar expulsion cases in the future, Pachakutik's political wing is now focusing on the formation of 'organic units.' This initiative aims to build a stronger internal structure and create a more cohesive political identity that can withstand external pressures and influence. The implications of this strategy are significant for Pachakutik, as they seek to solidify their base and adhere closely to their foundational values. By training their members in a manner that aligns with the movement's principles, they hope to maintain political integrity and foster loyalty amongst assembly members, ensuring that they remain aligned with the party's objectives rather than succumbing to external political forces.
