It was the largest Sunni party to participate in the January 2005 Iraqi election.
During the election campaign, al-Yawar was President of Iraq, a then largely symbolic but still prominent position.
The party consists of an alliance of Sunni tribal leaders, led by those of al-Yawar's Shammar tribe.
Due in large part to the low Sunni turnout, the party received only 150,000 votes in the election, placing them fourth in overall support, at 1.78% of votes cast, earning them five seats in the transitional National Assembly of Iraq.
