Netherlands Antilles
The party was formed in the wake of constitutional referendums held on the islands in the Netherlands Antilles in 1993, when a majority had voted against the dissolution of the Netherlands Antilles. At the 2002 Netherlands Antilles general election, the party won 20.6% of the popular vote and 4 of the 14 seats in the Curaçao constituency in the 22-seat Parliament of the Netherlands Antilles.[2] Its leader Etiënne Ys became prime minister of the Netherlands Antilles. When the party won five[3] and six[4] seats respectively in the Netherlands Antilles general election in 2006 and 2010, its leader Emily de Jongh-Elhage became the last Prime Minister of the Netherlands Antilles.
In the island council of the island territory of Curaçao the party won five[5] and seven[6] seats respectively. In the last island council the party obtained 8 of the 21 seats. The island council continued as Parliament of Curaçao upon the dissolution of the Netherlands Antilles in October 2010.[7]
