On 30 June 2019, its candidates took part in the primary elections and gained the right to participate in the October general election. [1] Their presidential candidate was Gustavo Salle, and Enrique Viana was intended to be his running mate, [2] but after Viana declined his participation, the party proclaimed Ana Cordano as the candidate for vicepresidency. [3] In the general election, the party obtained 19,392 votes, around 0.83%, therefore, it failed to get any parliament representation. [4] After the general elections, Salle left the party to create his own party. [5]

The party competed again in the 2024 presidential primaries, where two nominees submitted their candidacy: philosophy teacher and vegan Rita Rodríguez González from the group Desafio, [5] and the environmentalist and university professor Raúl Viñas for the group Movimiento por un Uruguay Sustentable. [6] Rodríguez obtained 1,084 votes against 293 of Viñas, then she became the presidential candidate for the party in the 2024 general elections. [7]
