History

In October 2021, KANP welcomed lawyer Chel Diokno as its party member and senatorial candidate for the upcoming 2022 Philippine general elections. The party also adopted presidential aspirant Vice President Leni Robredo, vice presidential aspirant Senator Kiko Pangilinan, and senatorial aspirant and former Congressman Teddy Baguilat as their national candidates.^[2]

In May 2024, former senator Bam Aquino announced he had assumed the role of KANP's party chairman after leaving the Liberal.^[3] He has also stated his intention to run in the 2025 Senate elections.^[4] As the chairman of KANP, he formed a coalition with his former party to form a coalition duo with his former Senate colleague Pangilinan.
