On the 24 July 2024 the former Minister for Agriculture and Rural Development Jan Krzysztof Ardanowski joined Kukiz'15's parliamentary circle, after having left the Law and Justice party a day earlier.{{citation |title = Rewolucja w Kukiz’15 coraz bliżej. „Paweł nalega” |date = 24 July 2024 |publisher = TOK FM |website = tokfm.pl |url = https://www.tokfm.pl/Tokfm/7,103087,31168673,rewolucja-w-kukiz-15-coraz-blizej-pawel-nalega.html |author = Jakub Baliński}} Ardanowski subsequently founded the Freedom and Prosperity party which was formally registered on 19 September 2024.{{citation|url=https://bip.warszawa.so.gov.pl/rejestr-partii/0/495/wolnosc-i-dobrobyt-postanowienie-nieprawomocne|title=Wolność i Dobrobyt|website=bip.warszawa.so.gov.pl}}

The party aims to become a big tent option for the centre-right, believing that the biggest right wing opposition party Law and Justice has lost its coalition-making abilities.{{citation|url=https://businessinsider.com.pl/wiadomosci/jest-nowa-partia-na-prawicy-zalozyl-ja-min-byly-minister-pis/yckbmgx?utm_source=detal&utm_medium=synergy&utm_campaign=allonet_detal_popularne|publisher=Business Insider|title=Jest nowa partia na prawicy.
