They wish to maintain political autonomy within the French Republic and continue to grow that relationship while strengthening ties with Oceania, given their geographical position.[4]

The party won 49 percent of the vote and 38 seats in the 2018 French Polynesian legislative election.[5] Fritch was re-elected as President of French Polynesia,[6] while Gaston Tong Sang was elected President of the Assembly.[7]
