The party's platform calls for a democratic state, economic reforms and evolutionary social development.

In the December 2007 parliamentary elections, despite receiving more than 10% of the total vote, Ata-Meken won no seats in parliament.

[2] This was due to a requirement that a party had to obtain at least 0.5% of the vote in each of the country's seven regions and its two cities (Bishkek and Osh) in order to win representation.

Ata-Meken accused the Central Electoral Commission of Kyrgyzstan of falsifying these results to deny them representation.

[3] Ata-Meken received the votes of 5.6% of eligible voters in the 2010 parliamentary elections, giving it 18 of 120 seats in parliament.
