Statute
The party was formed in 2005 and declares in its statute that it belongs to the center right, which is the political homeland for the vast majority of Chams marginalized by the Communist regime. Since the demise of the one-party state, the Chams have consistently put their faith in the center right parties to pursue their rights with Greece. However, the Chams are fully aware that Tirana’s politicians, whether Democrats or Socialists, only really focus on the Cham question during election time.[2]
2007 elections
The party won the plurality of seats in the municipality of Saranda, Delvina, Konispol, Markat, Xarrë and was one of the main parties in big municipalities like Vlora, Fier, etc., on the last municipal elections in 2007.[3]
2009 elections
At the latest national elections of Albania in July 2009 the party received around 14.477 (0,95%) votes, and one seat on the Albanian parliament.[4]
Fusion with other cham parties
On 6 February 2011 the Party for Justice and Unity and Party for Justice and Integration said very fast they will be fused to one new party.[5]
