The party was formed in 1995 with a largely intellectual membership and has a comparatively high proportion of female members.[4] The party advocates a strong sense of Uzbek culture, desiring a cultural revival, whilst also seeking to build closer links with other states in Central Asia.[5] The party opposes the influence of Russia in the region and attacked the foundation of the Eurasian Economic Community on this basis.[6]

The party announced its intention to merge with the Self-Sacrifice National Democratic Party in 2008, as the two parties shared common goals.[7] The new group has retained the National Revival Democratic Party name.[8]
