It is led by Mehmet Çakıcı. It was founded in 2016 after a group headed by Çakıcı broke off from the Communal Democracy Party (TDP).
History
Çakıcı and former MP Mustafa Emiroğluları resigned from the TDP on 25 November 2016. This was followed by the resignation of 70 other members of the TDP, mostly originating from the historical Communal Liberation Party (TKP), on 28 November 2016. The rationale given for these resignations was what they saw as "undemocratic" policies employed by the TDP leadership under Cemal Özyiğit and "the restriction of the freedom of speech within the party" after an election for the head of the Güzelyurt District. This had culminated in disciplinary action against Emiroğluları, with the aim of expelling him from the party. Çakıcı and his fellows claimed that this was because Emiroğluları wanted to change the name of the TDP back to "Communal Liberation Party" and also claimed that no new memberships had been allowed in the party for 6 months. Özyiğit had countered these by saying that "he was not concerned by personal business of this sort".{{cite web|title=TDP'de kavga alevlenerek büyüyor|url=http://www.kibrisgazetesi.com/kibris/tdpde-kavga-alevlenerek-buyuyor/6724|publisher=Kıbrıs|accessdate=24 December 2017}}{{cite web|title=ÇAKICI VE EMİROĞLULARI TDP'DEN İSTİFA ETTİ!|url=http://www.kibristime.com/kibris/cakici-ve-emiroglulari-tdpden-istifa-etti-h65879.html|publisher=Kıbrıs Time|accessdate=24 December 2017}}{{cite web|title=TDP'den 70 yeni istifa… Çakıcı: "Tabandan gelen bu fırtına yalnızca bir başlangıç"|url=http://www.kibrispostasi.com/print.php?news=206799|publisher=Kıbrıs Postası|accessdate=24 December 2017}}
Çakıcı founded the party using the name "Communal Liberation Party" (TKP) on 28 November 2016.{{cite web|title=TOPLUMCU KURTULUŞ PARTİSİ (TKP) KURULDU|url=http://www.kibristime.com/kibris/toplumcu-kurtulus-partisi-tkp-kuruldu-h65981.html|publisher=Kıbrıs Time|accessdate=24 December 2017}}
In January 2017, Sonay Adem, Ali Gulle and İbrahim Korhan, a group of political figures from Gazimağusa District, resigned from the Republican Turkish Party and joined the TKP. In the meanwhile, the High Administrative Court ruled that the establishment of a new party under the name "Communal Liberation Party" should be suspended. As a result of this and an agreement with the new members, the party changed its name to "Communal Liberation Party New Forces" on 19 January.{{cite web|title=TKP isimi değişti; TKP Yeni Güçler oldu...|url=http://www.kibrispostasi.com/tkp-isimi-degisti-tkp-yeni-gucler-oldu-24012017|publisher=Kıbrıs Postası|accessdate=24 December 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171225092029/http://www.kibrispostasi.com/tkp-isimi-degisti-tkp-yeni-gucler-oldu-24012017|archive-date=25 December 2017|url-status=dead}}{{cite web|title="Toplumcu Kurtuluş Partisi; "YENİ GÜÇLER"|date=9 January 2017 |url=http://www.yeniduzen.com/toplumcu-kurtulus-partisi-yeni-gucler-85166h.htm|publisher=Yenidüzen|accessdate=24 December 2017}}{{cite web|title=TKP, 'TKP Yeni Güçler' oldu|date=24 January 2017 |url=http://www.yeniduzen.com/tkp-tkp-yeni-gucler-oldu-85774h.htm|publisher=Yenidüzen|accessdate=24 December 2017}}{{cite web |url=http://ysk.mahkemeler.net/index.php/siyasal-partiler/ |publisher=Yüksek Seçim Kurulu |accessdate=23 October 2019|title=Siyasal Partiler – Yüksek Seçim Kurulu }}
