At the 2008 general election Cañigueral was placed third on ERC's list of candidates in the Province of Girona but the party only managed to win one seat in the province and as a result she failed to get re-elected.[16][17] She contested the 2019 general election as a Republican Left of Catalonia–Sovereigntists electoral alliance candidate in the Province of Girona and was re-elected to the Congress of Deputies.[18][19]
