History
editIn the 2010 parliamentary elections the party received 0.2% of the vote and won one of the seats reserved for ethnic minorities.[1] It retained its seat in the 2014,[2] 2017, and 2021 elections. The party came to international attention in early 2021, when the Constitutional Court deemed the vote of PAI MP Etem Arifi during the confirmation of the cabinet invalid. Since this put the cabinet under the necessary majority threshold for confirmation, it led to a snap election.[3]
