It contested the 2014 parliamentary elections as part of a joint list with the Liberal Democratic Party and Social Democratic Union, but the alliance received only 3.4% of the vote, failing to win a seat.[2]
In the 2016 parliamentary elections it ran alone, winning two seats.[3]
The party officially changed its name from the Bosniak Democratic Union of Sandžak to the Justice and Reconciliation Party on December 23, 2017.[4] Jahja Fehratović had led the party from its formation until this time; following the name change, Muamer Zukorlić was recognized as leader.
