As an independent presidential candidate in the November 2019 election, Itula won the best result of a losing candidates ever in elections in Namibia. At the founding meeting on 2 August 2020 in Windhoek, Itula was elected party president, Brian Kefas Black chairman and Christine Esperanza !Aochamus general secretary.[2][3] Vicepresident is Trevino Forbes.

The party participated in the 2020 local and regional council elections.[4] It won the municipal elections in the commercial hubs Walvis Bay and Swakopmund,[5] and 29 seats in different constituencies in Northern Namibia, hitherto considered an impenetrable SWAPO stronghold.[6]
