In the legislative elections, of 20 October 2002, the party won 1 out of 100 seats. This party might not have won any seats in the 2006 elections, and in the 2014 they risk losing official financing. Its presidential candidate, Jaime Damerval, won 0.4% of the vote in 2006.
Under the leadership of Assad Bucaram it was one of Ecuador's largest parties in the 1960s and 1970s. Jaime Roldós of CFP, (Bucaram's son-in-law) became the first freely-elected president of Ecuador after the rule of the military juntas in the 1970's.
