The party founder, thegoldenportal is a new resident inside the Harlon server. On 15th March 2021, he accidentally discovered an election was going to happen on 2nd April. At the same moment, he noticed that someone mentioned that if HCP won the third time, that person would quit the server. To bring change to the server, he and his friend - GreenPower312 started to plan for the party, they formed the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Harlonians(DAB) on 22nd March and allowed citizens to join after one day.

=='''Founding'''==
The founder of DAB, thegoldenportal, was a new player on Harlon in early 2021. On the 15th of March, they discovered that the [[HL:General Election of April 2021|3rd General Election]] was to be held on the 2nd of April 2021. Upon hearing a player say they'd quit Harlon if the [[HL:Harlonian Centre Party|Harlonian Centre Party (HCP)]] were to win for a third time, he and GreenPower312 started to create plans for a new political party, which lead to the formation of the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Harlonians (DAB) on the 22nd of March.
After the party was formed, there were several problems that the newborn party had to face. The most important problem is to gain support from the public. Compare HCP, LCP and BP, these parties existed for a long time and they had gained majority support from the public; besides, new parties such as CMP and HGP are starting to grow inside Harlon, they had started their campaign very early that buys them time, these are the difficulties that DAB had to face.


The party faced several challenges in its early days. The party had to campaign among already established parties such as the [[HL:Harlonian Centre Party|Harlonian Centre Party (HCP)]], [[HL:Living City Party|Living City Party (LCP)]] and [[HL:Harlon Progress Party|Business Party (BP)]], all which already had support among the electorate. The party also had two further challengers, the [[HL:Coconut Mall Party|Coconut Mall Party (CMP)]], and [[HL:Harlonian Green Party|Harlonian Green Party (HGP)]], who had also recently been founded, but had begun their campaigns earlier then DAB.
Another problem DAB had to face is a lack of funding. Since the party formed pretty late, the number of supporters is little compared to other parties. With the help from the thegoldenportal and GreenPower312, the party managed to keep its financial stability until today.
