The National Union of Ethical Citizens, an arch-corrupt Paraguayan party founded by a coup leader who was widely suspected of being behind the murder of the vice-president of the country in 1999.

The Brazilian Labour Party, the National Labour Party and the Brazilian Labour Renewal Party which are all right-wing populist parties.

The Revolutionary Nationalist Movement, a Bolivian party which is possibly even less revolutionary than the Institutional Revolutionary Party.

Back in the 1970s, there was in Ecuador a party named the National Guevarist Party. People unfamiliar with Ecuadorian politics would assume it was a communist party but it was actually a populist party with "Guevarist" standing for Carlos Guevara Moreno, a local politician, and not for the much more famous Guevara.
