The party was created in August 2010 through the union of the Kiribati Independent Party and Protect the Maneaba (Maneaban Te Mauri). The new party won 12 seats, making it the largest opposition party and party leader Rimeta Beniamina the leader of the opposition. However, he later moved to the Maurin Kiribati Party (MKP).
