History

The alliance was established in early 1920 as a successor to the National Committee.[1] It won six seats in the 1920 Constitutional Assembly elections.[2] The alliance retained its six seats in the 1st Saeima in the 1922 elections, but was reduced to four seats in the 1925 elections. The alliance returned to its six-seat strength in the 3rd Saeima as a result of the 1928 elections. Following the 1931 elections (the last multi-party elections in Latvia until 1990), they had five seats in the 4th Saeima.
