Since 2013, the party was trying to finish the official registration process, which new election law made compulsory, in order to start its campaign. The registration was rejected in early 2014, referring to the party's "flippancy". In July 2014, the Supreme Court ruled that there are no objections against registering the party and the registration process may continue. The MKKP was officially registered on 8 September 2014, only 16 minutes before the deadline for nomination of candidates for the 2014 local elections. Thus it prevented the party's participation in the election.
