[5] At that time it was rumored that he would possibly be a presidential or vice-presidential candidate proposed by that party to participate in the 2023 general elections, but in December 2022 it was announced that he would be a candidate for deputy for the Central District for the Valor-Unionist coalition in the second box behind Sandra Jovel.
