===Foundation and Qiu Heng era===

[[Qiu Heng]]'s ~~ascended~~ to the leadership of the country ~~with his mind set on normalizing~~ the ~~political situation, he~~ saw the perpetuation of the military junta system as inherently unstable, absent an electoral mandate of sorts, any general in charge of a division could ~~see~~ feel themselves justified in attempting to take power the same way as the junta did in the first place. Since Qiu distrusted the established but outlawed old political parties, he decided instead to build a new party from the ground up. As a base he chose a pro-military civic association called the National Daxian Rally-NDR that had existed since 1945 but had never reached much relevance. Qiu directed the Ministry of Social Services and the Ministry of Finance to direct significant financial resources to the NDR to support its growth.

[[Qiu Heng]]'s ascension to the leadership of the country saw for the first time the ascendance of politics over purely military leadership; Qiu Heng saw the perpetuation of the military junta system as inherently unstable, absent an electoral mandate of sorts, any ambitious general in charge of a division could feel themselves justified in attempting to take power the same way as the junta did in the first place. Since Qiu distrusted the established but outlawed old political parties, he decided instead to build a new party from the ground up without 'any of the old chaff'. As the base of his new party of state he chose a pro-military civic association called the National Daxian Rally-NDR that had existed since 1945 but had never reached much relevance. Qiu directed the Ministry of Social Services and the Ministry of Finance to direct significant financial resources to the NDR to support its growth.

The junta leader himself joined the NDR in the summer of 1952 and was elected its General Secretary 'by acclamation' of the party delegates. This was followed by a massive surge in party membership as government employees joined en masse(to curry favor, preserve their jobs or genuine agreement with its programme and ideals), trade unions and government contractors enjoined their affiliates and employees to do the same. In this early stage the biggest labor union of the country, the then All-Daxian Workers Central Union negotiated generous terms on collective bargaining and perks for its members in exchange for its unrestricted support for the new political machinery. Qiu Heng announced the first national elections for President and a new National Assembly would take place concurrently in mid 1952, he also announced his candidacy at the head of the now renamed National Reconstruction Front-NRF.
