After his defeat in the 2014 presidential election, Moncef Marzouki announced that he would create a new political party before the end of 2015.

They justified their decision by the impossibility of reforming the party at the political and organizational levels as well as the presidential ambitions of Marzouki.

The latter hindered the party from positioning seriously against the ruling coalition, according to a statement of the resigning members.

They also accused the coalition of having plunged Tunisia into an unprecedented political crisis, contributed to the impoverishment of the people and the rooting of fraudulent and corrupt practices.

Irada's spokesman Abdulwahid Yahyawi reacted to the wave of departures by calling them painful but predictable due to the conflicts that were dividing the party before.
