Dramane Dembélé was the ADEMA candidate for the July 2013 presidential election. He placed third in the election, receiving 9.6% of the vote. On 3 August 2013, he announced his support for Ibrahim Boubacar Keïta in the second round, saying that "we are in the Socialist International, we share the same values". However, in endorsing Keïta he contradicted the official stance of ADEMA, which had backed Keïta's rival, Soumaïla Cissé, on the previous day. The party stressed that Dembélé was speaking only for himself and that the party still supported Cissé. ADEMA-PASJ's motto is "Work-Solidarity-Justice"; its symbol is the bee. The current party president is Dioncounda Traoré. ADEMA-PASJ is a full member of the Socialist International.
