The party did not win any seat in the 2010 parliamentary election.[5] According to opinion polls, the party was expected to gain parliamentary representation in the 2012 parliamentary election;[6][7] but it failed to do so, with only 1.58% of the vote.

The party's registration turned into a scandal when it was revealed that many of the 16,000 signatures submitted were discovered to be fraudulent.
