Como se recuerda, desde que inició el actual quinquenio legislativo, la bancada celeste pretendió imponer a uno de sus integrantes como candidato a la presidencia del Congreso, y al no lograrlo se presentó en dos de las cuatro contiendas congresales con lista propia y confrontando a los distintos aspirantes del Bloque Democrático. Debido a ello, habría cierta resistencia a Yarrow dentro del grupo
