Its candidate at the presidential elections of the same day, Julio César Franco, won 24.0 % of the popular vote.

In the presidential Elections of 2008, the party has achieved victory over the Colorado Party for the first time in 61 years through a political alliance with Fernando Lugo and other leftist political parties.
