The Concertación held internal elections on 18 December 2022 where the candidates for governorship and the presidential duo for the 2023 general elections were defined.[2] Efraín Alegre was selected as the coalition's presidential candidate. This the third consecutive election in which he presented his candidacy. Soledad Núñez was chosen as the candidate for vice president.[3]

The Guasú Front, which was initially part of the coalition, announced it would leave in March 2023 and not support Alegre's candidacy. The Partido del Movimiento al Socialismo also announced it would leave.
