The party was led by Kamel Morjane, former Defence and Foreign Minister under Ben Ali.[5] The party assertively supported the representation of former RCD members in post-revolutionary politics.[6]
After the Party of Freedom for Justice and Development, the Party of Independence, the Party of Tomorrow's Tunisia and the Party of Third Path merged into The Initiative on 30 July 2014,[7][8] the party openly presented itself as the National Destourian Initiative.[9]
