Parties with federal representation

	Party logo	Party name	Leader	Senate seats	National Assembly seats	Seats in state governments	Local government seats	Ideology
		Marchenian Democratic Union Unión Democrática Marcheniana	Primitivo Fernandino	245 / 700	93 / 310	253 / 900	10,120 / 35,750	Modern liberalism Social liberalism Centrism
The Marchenian Democratic Union was formed in 1990 following the Marigold Revolution, the end of the civic-military dictatorship, and the collapse of the Party of Republican Institutions. Sources its membership largely from the former Democratic Movement, the National Citizenry, and Liberty Front that governed the country prior to the end of democracy in 1938. Initially formed as a center-left party, the party has since adopted a number of centrist and center-right positions following its 2007 split with The Left. At current the party is described as being firmly centrist, with many political theorists placing it into the category of center-leaning-right. It is the largest party in Parliament though its hold on the government has slipped since 2010, owing largely to corruption scandals and voter dissatisfaction.
		People's Convergence Convergencia del Pueblo	Ernesto Correa	105 / 700	0 / 310	0 / 900	0 / 35,750	Social conservatism Economic liberalism
	The People's Convergence Party was formed in 1990 following the Marigold Revolution, having its roots in the conservative wing of the Party of Republican Institutions and the pre-1938 Conservative Party. It sources much of its current day membership from Sotirian democrats and moderate conservatives. It has been described as a center-right to right-wing political party, though under the leadership of Ernesto Correa the party has adopted a number of harder right-wing and some far-right positions in an attempt to circumvent the New Republican Pole. Previously the second-largest party in Parliament, the CdP was supplanted by the NPR following the 2015 parliamentary election.
		Agricultural Party Partido Agrícola	Simón Indiano	30 / 700	0 / 310	0 / 900	0 / 35,750	Agrarianism Sotirian democracy Conservatism
	The Agricultural Party is the oldest political entity still active within the country, being formed in 1865, and largely escaped the widespread banning of many political parties during the civic-military dictatorship. It has primarily held power in local and state elections, forming a political alliance with the People's Convergence following the latter's founding in 1990. Recent trends under the leadership of Simón Indiano have seen the party adopt some right-wing policy positions.
		New Republican Pole Nuevo Polo Republicano	Juan David Obregon	120 / 700	0 / 310	0 / 910	0 / 35,750	Right-wing populism National conservatism Paternalistic conservatism Neo-Integralism Syncretism
	The New Republican Pole was founded in 2010 by MPs of the People's Convergence and Agricultural Party dissatisfied with the direction of their respective parties. The NPR sits within the far-right of the political spectrum and has adopted many populist, paternalistic, and Neo-Integralist political stances. Its sudden outgrowth has placed some pressure on parties such as the People's Convergence, the Agricultural Party, and even the Marchenian Democratic Union, to reform their platforms. In the 2015 elections the party supplanted the CdP to become the second-largest party in Parliament, leaving many to opine the possibility of a NPR-CdP-PA coalition government.
		Verde Verde	Natalia Quesada	45 / 700	0 / 310	0 / 900	0 / 35,750	Green politics Modern liberalism Communalism Eco-socialism
	Verde was founded in 1997 by climate scientists, green activists, and progressives who saw the lack of political parties focused on green politics following the national resumption of democracy. Anti-nuclear, anti-fossil fuels, pro-green energy, and eco-socialist, Verde has pushed for policies geared towards securing carbon neutrality within the coming decades.
		The Left La Izquierda	Lucho Zoido	100 / 700	0 / 310	0 / 910	0 / 35,750	Social democracy Progressivism Modern socialism
