It was founded on 30 July 1944 to unite petite bourgeoisie and intelligentsia in support of the Vietminh and in effect its satellite party. It was a member of the Vietnamese Fatherland Front and was represented in the Vietnamese parliament and government, its leader was Nghiem Xuan Yem. The party (along with the other 'non-communist' party in Vietnam, the Socialist Party) was disbanded in 1988.
