History
Ahead of the October 1988 presidential plebiscite, parties were legalized. A large coalition quickly emerged to campaign against the Pinochet regime; they adopted the name Concertación de Partidos por el NO. After the plebiscite, they reorganized into the Concertación de Partidos por la Democracia and nominated Patricio Aylwin for the December 1989 presidential election. He won by a landslide and the coalition won a majority in the lower house of the Parliament, although they failed to do so in the upper house as well.
By 2004, Michelle Bachelet had emerged as the clear nominee for the December 2005 presidential election. She was uncontested in the party's primary and won both the first and second rounds of the election itself. She led the coalition into an unprecedented electoral success--control over both houses of Congress--although the Senate was lost to defections in just the next year.
The coalition technically was dissolved in 2013. It was essentially reorganized as Nueva Mayoría (New Majority) around Bachelet, ahead of the November 2013 presidential elections, which she again won both rounds of.
