It was the first party that emerged after the reformist crackdown during 2009 Iranian presidential election protests, followed by the Union of Islamic Iran People Party.[2] The majority of members belong to the youth wing of banned Islamic Iran Participation Front[6] and are in their early 30s.[2]
The party was in coalition with the Pervasive Coalition of Reformists during 2016 Iranian legislative election.[7]
