Although initial discussions included the possibility of the Basque Nationalist Party (EAJ) joining the coalition, EAJ ultimately decided to remain outside due to the resumption of ETA's armed campaign on 5 June 2007.

In March 2018, another General Assembly decided to change the leadership of EH Bai, signaling a shift in the political phase in response to ETA's cessation of armed struggle.

Additionally, the assembly resolved that EH Bai would transition from being a coalition to becoming a unified movement, focusing on local groups rather than political parties.

In the Pyrénées-Atlantiques's 6th constituency (which includes the cities of Saint-Jean-de Luz, Biarritz and Hendaye) EH Bai member Peio Dufau was selected as the candidate for the NPF.

In the second round Dufau won 36.3% of the votes, edging out the Ensemble candidate for first place.
