History

The party was formed in 2012 by Ahmed Shiyam Mohamed. It was officially recognised by the People's Majlis on 21 October, after it had gained 3 MPs; Mohamed, Ahmed Moosa and Ahmed Amir.[2] It became part of a coalition with the Progressive Party of Maldives, supporting its candidate, Abdulla Yameen, in the presidential elections.[2]

In the 2014 parliamentary elections it won five seats.[3]
