In the run-up of the 2020 Venetian regional election, the PdV chose Guadagnini as its candidate for President of Veneto[8] and was joined by other minor groups, notably including the faction around Riccardo Szumski (mayor of Santa Lucia di Piave).[9][10] In the contextual municipal election in Venice the PdV fielded philosopher Stefano Zecchi for mayor.
In the election, which was dominated by Luca Zaia (76.8% of the vote) and Liga Veneta-sponsored lists (over 60%), the PdV won 1.0% of the vote. However, Zecchi was elected municipal councillor in Venice.
In January 2021 the PdV started to be re-organised as a political party, with the election of Cesare Busetto as secretary and the appointment of Zecchi as honorary president. The party will hold a new congress by the end of the year.[11][12]
