Alternative for Change (Spanish: Alternativa por el Cambio - AC), formerly known as "Christian Alternative," is a Nicaraguan political party.[2]

It was founded by dissidents from the Nicaraguan Party of the Christian Path (CCN), most notably Orlando Tardencilla.[2] In the 2006 presidential elections, the party fielded Edén Pastora as its presidential candidate,[3] but Pastora only managed to obtain 0.27% of the vote.[2][4]
