The party was formed on 7 May 2018 from the merger of the Democratic Party and Kibō no Tō (Party of Hope).[9] In September 2020, the majority of the party reached an agreement to merge with the Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan[17] and the original party was officially dissolved on 11 September 2020.
