The opposition against Kuyper was led by Alexander de Savorin Lohman, who founded the Free Anti Revolutionary Party.
In 1908, the CHP merged with the Frisian League, another conservative Protestant party, to form the Christian Historical Union.
This table shows the CHP's results in elections to the House of Representatives and Senate, as well as the party's parliamentary leader.
The electorate of the CHP was mainly constituted by adherents of the Dutch Reformed Church from the upper class, especially nobility, land owners, high officers and high-ranking civil servants.
It won and kept seats in several districts with large reformed populations, Goes in Zeeland, Apeldoorn in Gelderland, Dokkum in Friesland, and Katwijk and Schiedam in South Holland.
