History edit
Before the 2022 election, a series of disagreements between members of Tahalof lead to the breakup of the alliance into two.[2] Major members of the NIA, notably Ahmed Lari, formed the National Islamic Alliance (Taalof) on 22 June. In the 2022 election, both of its candidates, Lari of the first constituency and Hani Shams of the fifth, won seats in parliament.[3][4]
