Set up by opposition veterans from various parties, it co-founded the SDA with three other parties before the 2001 GE. In that GE, it clinched its first seat - a NCMP seat of its former secretary-general Steve Chia - but did not retain it in the 2006 GE and departed from SDA. In 2008, it held merger discussions with SPP, its former SDA partner, without a conclusive outcome.

Started by a splinter group of ex-WP leaders, it was known as UF until a slight name change to SUF on 5 March 1982, near its 9th anniversary.

In early 1988, it re-merged with WP, its original hinderland party, along with BS. Widely believed to have been dissolved, it was actually left defunct.

After the GE in 1991, those who were concurrently members of both parties resigned from WP again and returned to revive it, renaming it DPP.

Candidates who contested the 1997 GE were expelled for not having sought party permission but for unknown reasons were reinstated later and stood again in 2001, which was its last election.
