It incorporated most existing parties and became unwieldy as the aspirants to office were eager to join it. Within a few months, it caused a moribund inside the party and a turmoil outside to oppose it, eventually leading to its dissolution. The party mobilized support for Reza Shah, but soon was replaced by its offshoot the Progress Party.
