Together Gibraltar was founded in 2017 as a political organisation by independent MP Marlene Hassan Nahon, formerly of the Gibraltar Social Democrats.[4][5] On 17 October 2018 at a general meeting, 86% of the organisation's membership voted for it to become a political party, with the aim of contesting the 2019 Gibraltar general election.[6][7] On 8 November 2018, Hassan Nahon announced that the party launch was scheduled for 28 November.[8] Nahon retained her seat in the 2019 elections, but no other TG candidates were elected.
