In a press conference on October 26, the party officially announced that they would not endorse their candidates because the AKP planned to boycott the elections and advocate for change into the parliamentary system and to bring federalism in the country. After David announced that candidates would instead run under the newly established Koalisyong Katoliko Kristiyano party as the AKP's successor, the party expelled David and Alba. The electoral commission ruled David a nuisance candidate and disqualified him and Alba.
