History
Creation
On 30 January 2014, 27 people, including the then-MEP Kristiina Ojuland (Reform Party), signed the founding agreement of the party United Estonia (Estonian: Ühtne Eesti, ÜE). However, theatre NO99 announced that United Estonia is an already trademark registered by them at the Patent Office and NO99 does not allow others to use it. The founders of the party then chose the new name Party of People's Unity.
In an article published in Lääne Elu in March 2014, RÜE regional manager Anita Keivabu claimed that the new party is being advertised in county newspapers with European Parliament funding. Ojuland denied the claims, stating that she pays the advertising bills herself. In response, Anita Keivabu left the party.
