The first president of the party was Ion Hadârcă from 2013 until 2019. Its seven MPs were subsequently ejected from the Liberal Party and agreed to enter a new coalition, called the Pro-European Coalition, with the Liberal Democratic Party of Moldova (PLDM) and the Democratic Party of Moldova (PDM) on 30 May 2013.
On 21 June 2013, at Costești, Ialoveni took place General Meeting of the Liberal Party Reform Council, which adopted a decision to create a new political party with a liberal doctrine.
On 1 August 2013, in Chişinău took place the first meeting of the Council of Founding of the Liberal Reformist Party (PLR).[3]
Its seven MPs were former Liberal Party (PL) deputy chairman Ion Hadârcă, former Liberal Party secretary-general Oleg Bodrug, Ana Guțu, Anatol Arhire, Vadim Vacarciuc, Vadim Cojocaru, and Valeriu Saharneanu. The party failed to gain representation at the 2014 parliamentary election.
