On 27 February 2016, the
Right-Green People's Party was disbanded and merged into the party. On 3 March 2016, the National Front reached out to controversial
Independence Party member
Ásmundur Friðriksson, asking him to join the party. On 15 August 2016, the party organized a protest against revisions to Iceland's immigration laws at Austurvöllur square in front of the Parliament building. They participated in the
2016 parliamentary election, only running candidates in the
South and
Northwest constituencies after failing to obtain ballot access for the remaining four; in part due to two of their senior members, Gústaf Níelsson and Gunnlaugur Ingvarsson, defecting shortly before the election and taking the lists of signatures for the two Reykjavík constituencies with them. The party was due to take part in the
2017 election and had planned on running in the three constituencies in the
capital area and the
South, but withdrew all its lists after false signatures had been discovered on two of them. In August 2017, Gústaf Níelsson and Gunnlaugur Ingvarssons launched a new party
Frelsisfokkurinn (the Freedom Party), which attracted members from the Icelandic National Front, although Níelsson shortly thereafter quit politics and moved to Spain. ==Policies==
