On 31 August 2015, Mohamad Sabu announced GHB took over a dormant Malaysian political party, Malaysian Workers' Party after its attempt to form a new party called Parti Progresif Islam (PPI) was rejected by the Home Affairs Ministry.[3]

Rebranding to National Trust Party

Malaysian Workers Party members approved the change of its name to National Trust Party or Parti Amanah Negara (AMANAH) in an extraordinary general meeting (EGM) on 8 September 2015. AMANAH was officially launched on 16 September 2015 at national level, while it was still awaiting the approval of the Registrar of Societies (RoS). AMANAH is taking over and rebranding the Workers' Party into a new political party spearheaded by progressive leaders, who have left PAS.[4] The new logo and flag was also unveiled at its official launch on that day.[5]
