The party was founded by former Cabinet Minister Teina Bishop after his resignation from Cabinet and expulsion from the Cook Islands Party.[1] The party planned to contest the 2014 elections, but only ran 8 candidates with the explicit aim of being a support partner to the government.[1] Following his expulsion from the CIP, George Angene announced that he would be joining One Cook Islands.[2]
The party ran four candidates in the 2014 election, in the seats of Tupapa-Maraerenga, Arutanga-Reureu-Nikaupara, Mauke and Pukapuka-Nassau.[3] It won two seats.
In the 2018 election, it won one seat.
