History
The party was established by former Anti-Fascist People's Freedom League member U Aung Than, the older brother of former AFPFL leader Aung San, in order to contest the 1951–52 elections. Its leadership also included U Do, the brother of Prime Minister U Nu.[1] The party failed to win a seat in the elections.
Prior to the 1956 elections it joined the National United Front alliance,[1] which went on to win 48 of the 250 seats in the Chamber of Deputies.
