Sempértegui's late entrance into politics began indirectly.Шаблон:Sfn Encouraged by her husband, she answered a public tender to work at the Шаблон:Ill and was brought on as an administrative assistant at the Chief Financial Administrative Office.Шаблон:Sfn She became a close personal confidant to then-mayor Шаблон:Ill,Шаблон:Sfn who appointed her general advisor of the El Alto Mayor's Office, a post she held throughout his two terms in office between 2000 and 2005.Шаблон:Sfnm

Chamber of Deputies

Election

Шаблон:Further In the leadup to the 2009 election, Paredes invited Sempértegui to join the National Convergence (CN) ticket as a candidate for parliament.Шаблон:Sfn In effect, Paredes's party, Plan Progress for Bolivia (PPB), granted CN the legal backing it needed to competeШаблон:Sndgiving him great latitude to select candidates as he saw fit.Шаблон:Sfn Just as he had done in 2005, Paredes placed members of his innermost circleШаблон:Sndup to and including relativesШаблон:Sndin the "safety zone" of CN's slate of candidates, regardless of past political experience or public notoriety.Шаблон:Sfn The result: Sempértegui was elected to the Chamber of Deputies,Шаблон:Sfn accompanied by two other members of PPB affiliated with ParedesШаблон:Sndhis former cabinet secretary, Alejandro Zapata, and his own son, Hernán Paredes.Шаблон:Sfn

Tenure

No sooner did the elections come to pass than CNШаблон:Snddevoid of either clear leadership or ideological coherenceШаблон:Sndfell apart as an effective parliamentary alliance.Шаблон:Sfn In La Paz, the flight of ParedesШаблон:Sndaccosted on all sides by criminal cases and investigationsШаблон:Snd left the band of legislators elected under his watch to fend for themselves.Шаблон:Sfnm In the aftermath of the former prefect's exile, Sempértegui recalled: "I had to carry out my term practically alone".Шаблон:Sfn

In legislation, Sempértegui's tenure made headwinds in the development of children's rights law. She was the main drafter behind a 2011 bill aimed at the prevention of school violence.Шаблон:Sfn Its contents were later incorporated into the more wide-ranging Child and Adolescent Code,Шаблон:Sfn enacted in 2014, near the end of her term.Шаблон:Sfn Sempértegui promoted similar legislation in her capacity as a representative to the Latin American Parliament, where she also elaborated a proposal for the creation of a regionwide network for the protection of child laborers.Шаблон:Sfn

Absent their political benefactor, Sempértegui and other Paredes allies were not nominated for reelection come the 2014 elections.Шаблон:Sfn A similar instance occurred with many of the lawmakers elected under the influence of Manfred Reyes VillaШаблон:SndCN's other political leader-turned-fugitive.Шаблон:Sfn
