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.[3] The majority of members belong to the youth wing of the banned Islamic Iran Participation Front[7] and are in their early 30s.[3]
The party was in coalition with the Pervasive Coalition of Reformists during the 2016 Iranian legislative election.[8]
