The party was founded after the resignation of the evangelical singer and journalist Fabricio Alvarado Muñoz from the Christian party National Restoration for disagreements with the Executive Committee chaired by Congressman Carlos Avendaño.

[1][2] After a series of disputes arising from irregular contracts made by the campaign team without permission from the Executive Committee and the apparent payment of the surveys published by the firm OPol Consultores, there were mutual accusations between Alvarado and Avendaño[3] that led to the exit of the former and the foundation of his own party together with the majority of deputies elected by PRN.

[5] During the 2018-2022 legislative period, eight elected deputies, originally from the National Restoration Party, declared themselves independent and joined the New Republic Party, forming a self-styled bloc, however it is not an official fraction recognized by the Legislative Assembly, since they were not elected popularly in the 2018 elections as a party, and are therefore considered independent deputies not attached to any fraction.

[6] These deputies are: Carmen Irene Chan Mora, Harllan Hoepelman Páez, Ignacio Alberto Alpízar Castro, Ivonne Acuña Cabrera, Jonathan Prendas Rodríguez, Marulin Raquel Azofeifa Trejos and Nidia Lorena Céspedes Cisneros.

Later, the deputy Floria Segreda Sagot, who was one of the eight to join the independent bloc, would change her decision and return to the National Restoration Party.
