The party is campaigning on a platform of fast-forwarding land expropriation, strong borders, priority for South Africans over foreign nationals, and on abolishing "Roman laws".[1]
The party contested the 2019 general election, failing to win any seats.
Gumbi won a seat in the 2021 local government election in Nongoma after the party finished with just under 1% of the vote, earning a single list seat. Gumbi briefly held the balance of power in the council after the defeat of the Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP) candidate in a ward 20 by-election, leaving the council split between 22 seats for the IFP/Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) coalition, and 22 seats for the NFP/African National Congress (ANC) coalition.[2] The EFF later threw its weight behind the NFP/ANC.[3]
