In 2009, the share of the vote increased slightly to almost 2.5%, which led to the acquisition of another mandate in the House of Representatives. The elected representatives in the current legislative period are Iván Posada for the Department of Montevideo and Daniel Radío for the Department of Canelones , in whose place El País initially announced Dardo Rodriguez as elected MP. In contrast, the party is not represented in the Senate, as it was after the polls five years earlier.
