Margarita Stolbizer was candidate for the presidency of Argentina in the 2015 Argentine general election for the Progresistas ticket. She finished fifth with 2.51% of the vote, not enough to pass the threshold for the run-off.{{cite web|url=https://www.clarin.com/politica/elecciones_2015-margarita_stolbizer-frente_progresistas_0_HyGeEbKDXl.html|work=Clarín|title=Stolbizer quedó lejos, pero antició que va a "controlar al que gane"|language=Spanish|date=26 October 2015|accessdate=24 September 2018}} In that election, the coalition's list got only one deputy elected to the Chamber of Deputies (Victoria Donda).

In the 2017 legislative election, the coalition's member parties formed different electoral alliances, and in the resulting composition of the National Congress, the Progresistas group was disbanded.
