History

After having been acquitted of all charges against him at the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, Ljube Boškoski returned to Macedonia on 11 July 2008. After disagreements with the new leadership of his party, VMRO-DPMNE, he decided to participate in the 2009 presidential elections as an independent candidate and at the end of May 2009 formed his own party, United for Macedonia. In the 2011 parliamentary elections, United for Macedonia won 17,081 votes, but did not win a single seat. Then the party entered into a coalition with VMRO-NP and Dignity under the name "VMRO for Macedonia" and won roughly 25,000 votes in the 2016 parliamentary elections, but again did not win a parliamentary seat.
