In the 2023 general election, the party was represented by Fernando Villavicencio until his assassination in August 2023.[7] The party initially selected Andrea González, his vice-presidential running mate, to replace him,[8][9] but because of uncertainties regarding the legality of that decision, subsequently chose the journalist Christian Zurita instead.[10]
