The 1981 elections saw the party reduced to only three seats due to voter dissatisfaction with the territory's conservative parties.[1] The party's presidential candidate Husamettin Tanyar finished fourth with 4.8% of the vote.[1] Following the election Konuk was elected Speaker. The party failed to win a seat in the 1985 elections, and did not contest any further elections.[3]
