Founding members of the alliance were the parties PUDD, Frenti-Mudança FM , União Democrática Timorense UDT and Partido do Desenvolvimento Nacional PDN . The Partidu Republikanu PR joined the FDD on December 22nd, but left the alliance on February 27th, 2018.

The final members had a total of 39,837 votes in the 2017 parliamentary elections , which corresponds to 7.1% of the votes. In the early elections in 2018 , the FDD succeeded in entering the national parliament with a voting share of 5.5% (34,301 votes) with three members: António de Sá Benevides (PUDD), Gilman Exposto dos Santos (UDT) and Isabel Maria Barreto Freitas Ximenes (FM).

On June 14, 2018, Ximenes was elected first deputy secretary of the Parliament's Bureau. Benevides boycotted the vote together with the MPs of the opposition parties FRETILIN and PD , since the other posts in the parliamentary presidium went exclusively to representatives of the ruling coalition Aliança para Mudança e Progresso (AMP). Ximenes was supported by her second group colleague Santos. The difference of opinion about the legality of the presidium election led to a break within the FDD and on June 17th to the dissolution of the alliance.
