The party was founded by former Democratic Party legislator I Gede Pasek Suardika, who became the first party head, along with other expelled cadres. The party was established by taking over a minor party, the Functional Party of Struggle (Partai Karya Perjuangan), which had been inactive after failing to participate in elections.[1]
The party qualified to participate in 2024 Indonesian general election, along with four other new parties, after fulfilling administrative criteria and actual verification by the KPU RI in December 2022.[2] The party declared itself to be neutral in the 2024 presidential election.[3]
The party was established by former members of the Democratic Party who remained loyal to former chairman Anas Urbaningrum, who left the party and had since been imprisoned on corruption charges. The party was initiated by former legislator I Gede Pasek Suardika, who was joined by former Democratic Party cadre Ian Zulfikar, HMI activist Asral Hardi, journalist and photographer Bobby Triadi, and Sri Mulyono.
The party was declared on 28 October 2021—coinciding with the Youth Pledge Day—at the final Functional Struggle Party congress, where it was transformed to Nusantara Awakening Party through changes on the party constitution.[1] The party quickly registered the change to the Ministry of Law and Human Rights, and was recognised on 7 January 2022.[4]
Anas himself participated in the party founding by giving advise and suggestions to its initiators, including Suardika. He later endorsed the party founding despite not giving the time of when to join the party.[5] In February 2023, Suardika promised that Anas will be given a high-ranking position in the party after the end of his prison term expected April 2023.[6] On 14 July 2023, Suardika handed over the chairmanship to Anas.[7] Suardika became chairman of the party's executive committee ("Majelis Agung").[8]
In the 2024 legislative election, the party won 326,800 votes nationwide (0.215%), the least of all 18 nationally contesting parties and failed to win a seat in the national House of Representatives.[9] At the provincial legislature level, the party won two seats in the legislature of Highland Papua, along with a seat each in South Sumatra and Central Papua.[10][11] At the regency/city level, the party had 54 elected legislators,[12] with the party's largest contingent being in Musi Banyuasin Regency of South Sumatra with four elected legislators.[13]
