It was originally founded as the Bush Negro Unity Party () to represent the Maroon community in interior areas of the country and was renamed in 1987. It turned its focus away from the promotion of a specific ethnicity's interests, although it still enjoys popularity among the Maroon community.
The party did not participate in the elections of 1987, because the Surinamese Interior War made it difficult to access their members in the interior.
