History

edit

In 2008, a group of people discussed the need of a new political party. On 17 January, the CenterParty was established, inspired by the Swedish Centerpartiet and the Norwegian Senterpartiet.[1]

In 2013, the party ran for municipal council in the local elections. The party did not manage to get enough votes for any seats.

In 2015, the Democratic Party decided to dissolve and join the CenterParty
