The party was denied registration in 1990. Albeit unregistered, the party launched independent candidates in the 1991, 1994 and 1999 parliamentary elections in Ilam and Jhapa Districts. None were elected.[2] The party was registered with the Election Commission of Nepal ahead of the 2008 Constituent Assembly election.[3][4] In the 2008 CA polls, the party got 11,578 votes (0.11%) in the proportional representation vote.

Whilst unsuccessful in national elections, the party, as of 2007, had won village level seats in Ilam District
