[4] After political turmoil, the HSP BiH agreed to form a coalition government with other Bosniak parties, excluding the Croatian Democratic Union of Bosnia and Herzegovina (HDZ BiH) and the HDZ 1990, their former coalition partners, who received most of the Croat votes.

The HSP BiH's entry into the unpopular Federal government among the Croats of Bosnia and Herzegovina resulted in many members leaving the party, including high officials.

In 2013, Živko Budimir challenged Jurišić's leadership of the HSP BiH, and after losing the inter-party election, he formed the new Party of Justice and Trust (SPP).

The flight continued, with many municipal councillors and cantonal assembly representatives leaving the party, including the two HSP BiH's ministers of the Federal Government the very same year.

The same day, the HSP BiH signed an agreement with former Croatian Party of Rights — Dr. Ante Starčević president Ivan Tepeš.
