Although Zourabichvili enjoyed high personal popularity, her party has not been able to establish itself in the political field. At the city council elections in Tbilisi on October 5, 2006, only 2.77% of the constituency voted for the party.[2] In the June 2014 Tbilisi City Assembly (Sakrebulo) elections, a bloc including the party received 2% of the vote.[3]

On June 20, 2019, the party was merged[citation needed] into a new party, For Justice, founded by[4] Eka Beselia.
