The coalition was formed on 12 July 2020, and it is composed of the
Democrats,
DEMOS, the
New Left,
PUPI, as well some independent candidates, such as liberal politician
Vladimir Pavićević, former leader of the
Montenegrin party. The main goal of the coalition is to overthrow the ruling
Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS) of President
Milo Đukanović, which has been in power since 1991, announcing an anticorruption, reformist and moderate platform, also representing itself as civic and multinational alternative to the growing populist and nationalist rhetoric within the ruling DPS and opposition
Democratic Front (DF), which they accuse of polarizing Montenegrin society and
inciting ethnic hatred and unrest. Leader of the Democrats
Aleksa Bečić will head the joint electoral list for the
parliamentary election in August 2020. The August 2020 election resulted in a victory for the opposition parties and the fall from power of the ruling
DPS, which has ruled the country since the introduction of the multi-party system in 1990. The coalition won 12.54% of the popular vote, which equals 10 seats in the
parliament. Coalition list leader Bečić and the leaders of the lists
For the Future of Montenegro and
United Reform Action,
Zdravko Krivokapić and
Dritan Abazović, agreed during meeting on several principles on which the future government will rest, including the formation of an
expert government, to continue to work on the
European Union accession process, fight against corruption, overcoming society polarization, and to work on changing the
disputed Law on Religious Communities. They welcomed minority parties of
Bosniaks and
Albanians, and wished to form government with them. ==Electoral performance==
