In May 2013, five representatives of Freedom and Solidarity (SaS) Jozef Kollár, Juraj Droba, Daniel Krajcer, Juraj Miškov and Martin Chren left the party and join to New Majority. They represent a liberal faction of the party.

In the 2014 European elections, New Majority came in fifth place nationally, receiving 6.83% of the vote and electing 1 MEP.
