History
The party was formed on 2 August 1991 by Víctor Mandinga.[1] In the 1994 elections it put forward Carlos Gomes Júnior as its candidate as Mandinga was ineligible due to not having both parents born in Guinea-Bissau.[2] In the elections to the National People's Assembly the party received 5.3% of the vote but failed to win a seat.
Prior to the 2004 elections the party joined the United Platform alliance, which failed to win a seat. It contested the 2008 elections as part of the Democratic Alliance, which won a single seat. The party ran alone in the 2014 parliamentary elections, winning two seats.[3]
