Wiki says : Zoltan Istvan Gyurko,[1] professionally known as Zoltan Istvan (born March 30, 1973), is an American transhumanist,[2] journalist,[3] entrepreneur,[4][5] and futurist.[6][7]

Formerly a reporter for the National Geographic Channel,[8] Istvan now writes futurist, transhumanist, secular, and political themed articles for major media, including The New York Times,[9] Vice's Motherboard,[10] Wired,[11] The Huffington Post,[12] TechCrunch[13] and Newsweek.[14] Istvan regularly appears on television and video channels discussing futurist topics.[15][16][17] He is widely perceived as one of the world's most influential transhumanists and believes transhumanism will grow into a mainstream social movement in the next decade.[15][16][18] Istvan is the author of The Transhumanist Wager, a philosophical science fiction novel.[19][20]

In late 2014, Istvan announced his intent to run for President of the United States in the 2016 election. He ran for his own Transhumanist Party to raise awareness for transhumanist politics issues.[21]

In 2017, Istvan announced his intent to run for Governor of California in the 2018 election as a member of the Libertarian Party.[6][22]

In November 2019, Istvan announced his candidacy for the Republican Party's nomination in the 2020 United States presidential election, hoping to win the GOP nomination against President Donald Trump.[23]

To be clear, he is the founder of the Transhumanist Party, not the ideology.

“What is a transhumanist?”

It’s not easy to understand.

But what’s even MORE difficult to understand is the Transhumanist politics

Transhumanism (abbreviated as H+ or h+) is an international philosophical movement that advocates for the transformation of the human condition by developing and making widely available sophisticated technologies to greatly enhance human intellect and physiology.[1][2]

Transhumanist thinkers study the potential benefits and dangers of emerging technologies that could overcome fundamental human limitations as well as the ethical[3] limitations of using such technologies.[4] The most common transhumanist thesis is that human beings may eventually be able to transform themselves into different beings with abilities so greatly expanded from the current condition as to merit the label of posthuman beings
