The party was formed by Alenka Bratušek, who resigned as Prime Minister of Slovenia on 5 May 2014, and other former members of Positive Slovenia (PS).[4] The party was founded on 31 May 2014 under the name the Alliance of Alenka Bratušek (Zavezništvo Alenke Bratušek, ZaAB).[5][6]
Among the founding members were incumbent PS MPs Maša Kociper, Jerko Čehovin, Jani Möderndorfer, Maja Dimitrovski, former MP Peter Vilfan, ministers Roman Jakič and Metod Dragonja.[7] Present were also several guests: former Mercator retail group chief executive Miran Goslar, Verjamem party leader Igor Šoltes, MEPTanja Fajon and Social Democrat MP Matjaž Han, Zares party president Darja Radić and the Democratic Party of Pensioners of Slovenia's Gorazd Žmauc.[8]
On 21 May 2016 the party was renamed to the Alliance of Social-Liberal Democrats (Zavezništvo socialno-liberalnih demokratov).[11] On 7 October 2017, the party again changed its title to include the founder's name in preparation for the upcoming parliamentary elections, becoming the Party of Alenka Bratušek. The party's Secretary General Jernej Pavlič stated that the name was changed to improve name recognition.[12]
In the 2022 Slovenian parliamentary election, the party failed to win any seats in the National Assembly.[15] Subsequently, the party members voted in June 2022 to dissolve the party and merge with the Freedom Movement, the social liberal party of Robert Golob which formed government after the 2022 general election.[16] The Freedom Movement voted in favor of the merger on 27 June, with the official merger completed on 12 July.[17]
