Its candidate Rodrigo Borja, who was president of Ecuador from 1988 to 1992, won 14.4% of the vote in the presidential elections of the same day. For the October 2006 elections, it has entered into an alliance with the Ethics and Democracy Network (Red Etica y Democracia), to support the ticket formed by former Vice-President León Roldós, and Ramiro González, former Prefect of the Pichincha Canton

In April 2022 the party had thirteen members in the National Assembly after it excluded Johanna Moreira from the party.[3]

For the 2023 Ecuadorian general election, the party supported the candidacy of Otto Sonnenholzner.[4] For the second round, the party announced its support for Daniel Noboa.[5] The party was left also without any representatives in the National Assembly, the result of an internal struggle within the party that remains unresolved.[6]
