In June 2019, the party elevated Hong Moon-jong, a National Assembly member who left the Liberty Korea Party, as its leader along with incumbent Cho Won-jin.[8][9] Originally, the party planned to change its name as New Republican Party (신공화당),[8][9] but faced a legal issue. On 24 June, the party changed the name to Our Republican Party. The party claimed that the new name came from Park Geun-hye herself.[10]
In March 2020, the party merged with the Liberty Unification Party to form the Liberty Republican Party.
