It gained 71 of the 90 seats in the 2007 elections and was one of the three parties to enter into the parliament,[6] obtaining most of its support from the south of the country.[7] However, following the Kyrgyz Revolution of 2010, snap elections were called, and the party lost all of its seats. It did not re-enter parliament thereafter, and it is defunct.
