History

"People and Justice" was founded on 12 March 2018, after Elmedin Konaković resigned from all party functions in the conservative Bosniak Party of Democratic Action.[1] The founding assembly was held on the same day, in the presence of 60 founders, where Konaković was elected president, Senada Bosno and Elvedin Okerić vice presidents and Mirza Selimbegović was elected Secretary General.

In the general elections held in the same year, the party won six seats in the Sarajevo Cantonal Assembly, two seats in the Federal House of Representatives and one seat in the Federal House of Peoples.

In the 2020 municipal elections the party significantly increased its share of votes in the city of Sarajevo, becoming the largest political party in the city.[2]
