One of the three parties established by Fujimorism during the 1990s, the party ran allied with Cambio 90 for the 1992 Democratic Constituent Congress election and in the 1995 general election. For the 2000 general election, it ran under the Peru 2000 coalition, which grouped Cambio 90 and Vamos Vecino.[2]

In the aftermath of Alberto Fujimori's downfall in late-2000, the party participated alongside Cambio 90 at the 2001 general election, only running for Congress.[3] Congresswoman Martha Chávez reconvened the party and formally announced her candidacy for the presidency at the 2006 general election, as the electoral authorities rejected Fujimori's ticket with Sí Cumple. Under the Alliance for the Future coalition, New Majority ran alongside Cambio 90 and Sí Cumple. At the presidential race, Chávez placed fourth failing to qualify in the June run-off, while in the congressional election, the congressional list got 13 out of 120 seats.[4]

Following the establishment of Popular Force in 2009 by former President Fujimori’s daughter Keiko, New Majority ceased to exist in 2012, as their registration was cancelled by the National Jury of Elections for not participating in the 2011 general election. Most of its members ran for office with Popular Force, and ultimately switched their affiliations.[5]
