In 2013, there were reports that the party agreed to merge with the MNP.[3] However, a party called the AMRDP contested the 2015 general election, where it won no seats in the national parliament and just one seat in the Mon State Hluttaw.

The party's former chairperson Nai Ngwe Thein died on 2 October 2018.[4]
