Former President Martín Torrijos, son of Democratic Revolutionary Party(PRD) founder  Omar Torrijos announced  Tuesday, March 7, his presidential aspirations for the May 2024 elections, but his candidacy will not be within the PRD, with which he governed between 2004 and 2009.

I intend to be a presidential candidate in the May 2024 elections. I will not stay on the sidelines; Panama is in crisis, and we all have to build to its solution; we must rescue Panama and then the PRD. I will never give up my status as a torrijista. Let it be very clear, my candidacy will not be within the PRD," Torrijos said in a message issued on the YouTube social network that lasted 6 minutes and 28 seconds.
