It was formed in 2014 by three Danish-Pakistani brothers in opposition to the right wing parties in Denmark.

Kashif Ahmad was a member of the municipal council in Hvidovre Municipality when the party was founded, thus giving the party a seat.

However ,several of the individual members ran as independents, including Yahya Hassan.

In April 2016, the party claimed to have gathered enough signatures to run for the next general election.

However, a new digital system of gathering signatures had been implemented by the Ministry of the Interior and of Social Affairs, and problems with this system made many of the National Party's signatures ineligible.
