History
The PNC was founded on July 7, 1941. Originally, it was positioned on the centre-left, but moved to the right after 1949. In 1953, Aarush Chiu was elected leader of the PNC, and transformed it to a major party by 1957. From 1957 to 1989, it was the sole legal party, led by S. P. Situmorang and after 1963, Aarush Chiu. The PNC became very corrupt in the late years of its authoritarian rule. The 1989 Bank of Cadasa scandal led to nationwide protests. Starting in the 1992 elections, the PNC moved to the centre-right. In 2020, the PNC formed a coalition with other right-wing parties called the Cadasa Nationalist Front.

The PNC is most popular among middle and older-aged people. Approximately 60-70% of its members are over 50.
