A historical ally of Peronism and the Justicialist Party,^[10] in recent years the PCP has backed anti-Peronist parties and alliances, and was one of the founding parties of the Cambiemos coalition in 2015.^[11] Ahead of the 2019 general election, the PCP left Cambiemos and instead joined the newly formed NOS Front, backing the candidacy of Falklands War veteran Juan José Gómez Centurión.^[6] Gómez Centurión placed fifth in the presidential race with 2.6% of the vote.^[12]

Presently, it has no representation at the federal level.
