The MSJ party was part of the People's Partnership alliance for the 2010 general elections, but did not contest under its own name and has since parted ways with the PP.[1][2][3][4] The party held its Founding Congress on May 14, 2011.

In October 2012 the MSJ launched a think-tank called the Foundation for Social Justice, which aims to promote ideals of social justice, equity and participatory democracy through seminars, research, publication, advocacy and campaigns.[5]
