At its inception, TERAS was a splinter party of Sarawak Progressive Democratic Party (SPDP), set-up by its disgruntled leaders and was pro-Barisan Nasional (BN).[3] However the hopes of TERAS to join BN were rejected by the coalition.[3] An arrangement was made between TERAS and Barisan Nasional for the division of seats contested in the Sarawak state election, 2016.[4]

On 11 May 2016, TERAS was supposed to be officially dissolved itself in order to allow their members, who won as direct BN candidates, to join any component party of the coalition.[5] But its plans was put on hold and even cancelled while watching developments of the 2018 general election.[6]
