History
The party contested the 1993 parliamentary elections, nominating 17 candidates.[1] Despite receiving only 0.2% of the vote, it won a seat in the House of Representatives.[2] For the 1997 elections it put forward 33 candidates,[3] and despite doubling its vote share,[4] it lost parliamentary representation. It received 0.2% of the vote in the 2003 parliamentary elections, remaining seatless.
