As of 2013 Moïse Sawadogo was the chairman of the party. The slogan of the party is 'Democracy - Work - Justice'.
  
  The party was registered with the Burkinabé authorities for the first time on April 14, 2003. It was re-registered in 2007 and 2011.
  
  The party contested elections for the first time in 2006, fielding candidates in local polls. 17 ODT municipal councilors were elected.
  
  The party won one seat in the 2012 legislative election. The party general secretary Dieudonné Sawadogo was elected from Bam Province. The provincial list of the party got 12,813 votes.

  In August–September 2013 ODT underwent an internal crisis. On August 31, 2013 Dieudonné Sawadogo organised an extraordinary party congress in Kongoussi, which declared Moïse Sawadogo deposed and named Mahamoudou Sawadogo as new party chairman. In response, in September 2013, Moïse Sawadogo declared Dieudonné Sawadogo and eight other party members expelled, citing 'high treason' against the party.
