In April 2019 congressional candidate Julio Rosales, who stood for a seat in Retalhuleu, was dismissed from the party after an arrest warrant from the Texas District Court concerning the production and distribution of heroin, was executed in Guatemala City.[7]
In 2019 the party nominated Isaac Farchi as its presidential candidate.
