United for Gran Canaria (Spanish; Castilian: Unidos por Gran Canaria, UxGC) is a Canary Island-based political party founded by former People's Party leader in Gran Canaria José Miguel Bravo de Laguna. Ahead of the 2015 Canarian regional election, it ran in the United electoral alliance (Spanish; Castilian: Unidos) formed by Nationalist Canarian Centre, Citizens for Change, Commitment for Gran Canaria, Lanzarote Independents Party, Majorero Progressive Party, Democratic and Progressive Party and Independent Group of Moya.[1] [2]
The party gained its only MP in the Canarian Parliament after Lucas Bravo de Laguna Cabrera, who had run as an independent for the 2019 Canarian regional election within the Canarian Coalition banner, became the General Secretary of the Party.[3]
