description 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.

Los bicentenarios partidos políticos de Paraguay continúan siendo los actores privilegiados de la organización de la disputa política electoral. En este artículo nos proponemos identificar la construcción de nuevas reglas formales e informales de competencia que, hasta nuestros días,  han marcado los límites a la transición a la democracia: la fórmula D`Hondt, el juicio político, la no reelección presidencial, el cuoteo político y el voto de censura. Partimos de la hipótesis de que la paridad de las fuerzas internas de la Asociación Nacional Repúblicana (ANR), tras la transición a la democracia, provocó que ese partido funcione como partido de Gobierno y de oposición al mismo tiempo. Finalmente, ensayamos algunas alternativas del escenario de las elecciones presidenciales de 2023.
