The Reform Movement (Movimiento Reformador) is a political party in Guatemala. It is led by Jorge Briz Abularach.

2003 election

At the 2003 general election held on 9 November 2003, the party was part of the Grand National Alliance. In the legislative election, the Alliance won 24.3% of the vote, and 47 out of 158 seats in Congress. The presidential candidate of the alliance, Óscar Berger Perdomo, won 34.3 % at the presidential elections of the same day. He won 54.1 % at the second round and was elected president.
