The party supported President Roh Tae-woo and included among its members former opposition leader Kim Young-sam and former Prime Minister of South Korea Kim Jong-pil.
The leading opposition party was the Democratic Party. It was formed in 1991 through the merger of the Party for Peace and Democracy led by Kim Dae Jung and former members of the NDRP with the minor Democratic Party. The party was co-led by Kim and Lee Kitack.
