Zúniga is considered a friend of the armed forces, but is also seen as a nuisance because of his independent power base. Unity and Change has reached a temporary compromise through the election of former head of state General Melgar Castro to the presidency of the party. (According to the Constitution, Melgar Castro cannot be re-elected President of Honduras.)
Estos últimos han instaurado una solución provisional de compromiso, logrando elegir al ex-jefe de Estado, General Melgar Castro (que no puede ser candidato a la Presidencia constitucionalmente) como Presidente del Partido. Mantienen así sus cartas sin jugar, conservando los lazos con las fuerzas armadas pero no cortando con Zúñiga.
