===Disputes with National Renewal (2003–2006)=== Also in 2003, stressed the frictions and conflicts between RN and UDI, mainly due to a dispute between the parties for the leadership within the Alliance for Chile, as well as personal disagreements between the presidents of both parties, Pablo Longueira and [[Sebastián Piñera]]. That is Joaquin Lavin, who was then leader of the Alliance for Chile and only presidential candidate, had suddenly and publicly call on both the resignation from their posts. In 2005, UDI selected Joaquín Lavín for presidential elections again, but National Renewal launched its own candidate, the millionaire businessman and former senator [[Sebastián Piñera]]. Attempts to choose a single candidate for the right-wing failed. Piñera got second in the election, and there was a runoff between him and the ''Concertación'' candidate, [[Michelle Bachelet]]. Lavín urged his supporters to vote for Piñera, whom he endorsed wholeheartedly. However, in the 2006 runoff, Piñera was [[2005–06 Chilean presidential election|defeated by Bachelet]]. In the [[2005 Chilean parliamentary election|2005 parliamentary elections]], UDI maintained its status as largest party in Congress, electing 33 out of 120 deputies.
