It was launched in 2001 by the PNG Trade Union Congress, with Andrew Kandakasi as party president.[1][2] In February 2002, Australian Labor Party president Greg Sword visited Port Moresby to support the party.[3] PNGTUC secretary-general John Paska became the party leader for the 2002 election.[4] Paska was unsuccessful, but Dr Bob Danaya was elected in Western Provincial. Danaya then supported Michael Somare for Prime Minister.[5][6]

Danaya was re-elected as the party's sole MP in the 2007 election.[7] Danaya lost his seat to Ati Wobiro in the 2012 election.[8]

The party did not contest the 2017 election and as of 2018 was no longer registered.[9]
