Abstract The bicentennial political parties in Paraguay are privileged actors in the organization of the electoral political dispute. In this article, we propose to identify the construction of new formal and informal rules of competition that have delimited the transition to democracy up to this days: the D`Hondt formula, the impeachment, presidential non-reelection, distribution of public offices and voting censorship. The hypothesis is that the parity of the internal forces of the ANR, after the transition to democracy, made the ANR function as a government and opposition party at the same time. Finally, it rehearses some alternatives for the 2023 presidential election scenario.
