It was founded in 1985 by a local Thonburi lawyer, Somsak Phakipho. However, an important figure who later became the party leader was Chalerm Yubamrung, who had moved from the Democrat Party. The party was considered to have a strong support base in the Thonburi area of Bangkok, particularly in the districts of Bangkok Yai, Phasi Charoen, Nong Khaem, as well as Bang Khae, Bang Bon and Bang Khun Thian.[1]
Due to the changing political landscape, the party's influence declined after 2000. Key figures, such as Chalerm Yubamrung, moved to other parties, and ultimately the party was dissolved in 2010.[2]
