a number of Valencian city councils. It did not achieve representation elsewhere other than in Sueca. ERPV ran in the 2007 election to the Corts Valencianes under the "Esquerra" name, achieving 0.49% of the total votes which was far from the 5% threshold needed to achieve representation. Out of a total of 5,622 local councilors elected in the 542 Valencian municipalities, ERPV is currently represented by four local councilors in three municipalities, which limits its participation in Valencian politics to a marginal role. Despite its status in Valencia, at the 2004 Spanish general election ERPV's leader Agustí Cerdà was elected as an MP himself at the Spanish Parliament. This was made possible by including him in the ERC electoral ticket in Catalonia instead of running for any given Valencian electoral constituency, where ERPV does not achieve any representation other than the few councilors aforementioned. Then, at the following 2008 Spanish general election, which saw ERC's results halved in Catalonia, Agustí Cerdà was one of the incumbents who lost his seat. Corts Valencianes * Within Acord Ciutadà.
