History edit
The party was established in February 2008 as a breakaway from the Party of Democratic Action.[3] Based in Cazin, its founders included town mayor Nermin Ogrešević. In the 2010 general elections, A-SDA ran only in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina part of Bosnia. It received 1.7% of the vote, failing to win a seat in the national House of Representatives,[4] However, it won one seat in the House of Representatives of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina with 1.9% of the vote.[5]
In the 2014 elections the party increased its vote share to 2.25%, winning a seat in the national House of Representatives.[6] It also won two seats in the Federal House.[7] Its member of the country's legislature was Jasmin Emrić, who holds a seat in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina's first division.
