The following article develops an investigation into the processes by which the Liberal Republican Party (LRP) was created and dissolved, with such an association existing in the state of Paraná from 1923 to 1924. By means of a case study, the aim of this work is to develop an understanding of the electoral initiatives caried out among state oppositionists in the final years of the First Brazilian Republic. There are three arguments sustained in this analysis. First, the article demonstrates that the LRP was controlled by newcomers to the political scene who did not obtain the support of historic oppositionists in structuring the association. Second, evidence suggests that this party was shortest in duration and poorest in performance in elections among the minority associations created in Paraná during the First Brazilian Republic. Third, it must be highlighted that the group’s extinction was followed by an end in political activities for most of its adherents.
