The party was founded on 3 February 1951 after the National Progressive Party was disbanded. In the July 1951 elections, it won ten of the 200 seats in Parliament, an increase from the five won by the National Progressive Party in 1948.[1]
The party went on to win 13 seats in the 1954 elections, before being reduced to eight seats in the 1958 elections. The 1962 elections saw the party win 13 seats.[1] In 1965, it merged with the Liberal League to form the Liberal People's Party.
