It was established prior to the 2005 general elections, winning 28,59% of the votes and became the official opposition to the government of left-wing President Evo Morales and his Movement for Socialism (MAS).

The ADN withdrew from the alliance in 2006 and Quiroga eventually decided not to stand in the 2009 general election. It was delisted from the register of political parties in 2008 due to bureaucratic reasons and was dissolved in 2009.

Former President of the Senate Óscar Ortiz was part of the alliance, but later left it to establish Popular Consensus, which endorsed Samuel Doria Medina in the 2009 election.
