The leader of the party since October 2018 is businessman Siarhei Cherachen.[1]

After losing the election for president in 1994, he did not participate in politics again until helping to form the party in 1998. In 2004 he was not allowed to register as a candidate and so in the 2010 presidential election he was a supporter of candidate Andrei Sannikov.
