In spite of the hopes expressed by Magaña during the electoral campaign, his party managed to obtain only 199,484 or 1.04% of the votes, a very distant fourth place, causing the party to lose its registry, which would return to recover more three times, until he definitively lost it in the mid-term federal elections of 1997.
Magaña retired from political life in 1988 and was not a registered member of any party. He died in 2013 in San Luis Potosí City.[3]
