Interested by this strategy the Missionary Party ran all their candidates as Independents in the elections of 1884 and 1886.
In 1884 a two-party system emerged in Hawaii with the consolidation of opposition to the National Party.
The new Constitution slanted elections in the favor of the Missionaries and they departed the Kuokoa party.
The departure of the Missionaries left a vacuum in the Kuokoa Party that was eventually filled by the Native Sons of Hawaii.
The Native Sons was a pro-monarchy, Pro-Hawaiians political organization that supported the National Reform Party.
