The party was founded by a group of MPs issued from the True Path Party on 7 January 1997.[1] The chairman of the party was Hüsamettin Cindoruk, who was a former chairman of the True Path Party. The party participated in the coalition government of Mesut Yılmaz (30 June 1997-11 January 1999). In the 1999 elections they received less than 1% of the vote.
