History
The party was established in May 1894 as a merger of the Dōmei Seisha and Dōshi Seisha,[1] which together had won 42 seats in the March 1894 elections, although only 40 National Diet members remained by the time of the merger.[1] Five members later broke away to establish the Chūgoku Progressive Party.[2]
In the September 1894 elections it won 30 seats. In February 1896 it merged with Rikken Kaishintō, the Chūgoku Progressive Party, Teikoku Zaisei Kakushin-kai and Ōte Club to form Shimpotō.[1]
