History
The party was a successor to the 21 Party led by U Ba Pe, which had emerged as the largest in the 1922 elections after winning 28 seats, but had not been able to form a government.[1] The new party called for a reduction in Indian immigration to Burma and Indian landlords to be banned from owning land in Burma.[2]
In the 1925 elections the Nationalist Party won 25 seats; despite being the largest party, it was not able to form a government.
In 1926 or 1927 the party merged with the Home Rule Party and the Swaraj Party to form the People's Party.[3]
