The party sought accreditation from the Commission on Elections so that it can run candidates for the 2019 midterm election.[1]
The group was a registered party-list organization for the 2019 and 2022 elections. However they sought seats in the House of Representatives through partylist representation in those election. This led to the cancellation of their accreditation as a partylist for the upcoming 2025 election.[2]
On September 20, 2024, Partido Demokratiko Pilipino formally formed an alliance for the 2025 elections with Partido para sa Demokratikong Reporma, Pederalismo ng Dugong Dakilang Samahan and the Mayor Rodrigo Roa Duterte-National Executive Coordinating Committee (MRRD-NECC). Greco Belgica and Pantaleon Alvarez signed the agreement.[3]
