Modern Hungary Movement

MoMa decided not to participate in the 2014 parliamentary election, because "they do not want to weaken the cooperation of left-wing parties with separate candidates." Bokros criticized and resented that his party were excluded from the alliance.{{cite web |access-date=18 January 2014|url=http://mandiner.hu/cikk/20140117_bokros_lajos_vagyunk_mi_olyan_sulyosak_mint_fodorek|title=Vagyunk mi olyan súlyosak, mint Fodorék|date=18 January 2014}} Later MoMa formally asked its supporters to vote Unity in the 2014 general election, after receiving constitutional guarantees from the left-wing opposition.{{cite web |access-date=19 February 2014|url=http://www.politics.hu/20140219/bokross-group-to-support-unity-from-outside/|title=Bokros's group to support Unity from outside|date=19 February 2014}}

The party planned to run in the 2014 European Parliament election, however its registration was refused by the National Election Office (NVI). As a result Bokros lost his European Parliament mandate.{{cite web |access-date=26 May 2014|url=http://www.origo.hu/itthon/20140505-a-momanak-nincs-meg-az-indulashoz-szukseges-huszezer-ervenyes-ajanlasa.html|title=Mégsem indulhat Bokros az EP-választáson|date=5 May 2014}} Bokros also ran for Mayor of Budapest in the 2014 municipal election. On 29 September 2014, two other candidates, the independent György Magyar and candidate of the leftist opposition parties' Ferenc Falus withdrew from the election and supported Bokros.{{cite web |access-date=29 September 2014|url=http://index.hu/belfold/2014/09/28/falus_ferenc_visszalep/|title=Falus Ferenc visszalép|date=28 September 2014}} Bokros received 36.04% of the vote and came second after István Tarlós. He was supported by Together, the Democratic Coalition and the Budapest branch of the Hungarian Socialist Party.{{cite web |access-date=13 October 2014|url=http://index.hu/belfold/2014/10/12/tarlos_win/|title=Tarlós István harca csak most kezdődik|date=13 October 2014}}

In September 2017, the MoMa made an electoral coalition with the Democratic Coalition (DK) for the 2018 parliamentary election. In the same time Bokros announced his "500 days programme" which contained the short-lived inevitable cooperation of the "democratic opposition parties" after the victory to "restore democracy" and "break down the Orbán regime". Bokros argued another by-election is required after the successful restoration.{{cite web |access-date=14 March 2018|url=http://www.atv.hu/belfold/20170901-bejelentettek-egyutt-indul-jovore-a-dk-es-a-bokros-lajos-vezette-moma|title=Bejelentették: Együtt indul jövőre a DK és a Bokros Lajos vezette MoMa|date=1 September 2017}} In January 2018, Bokros announced the DK has not kept its promise and rejected the agreement; as a result, the MoMa aimed to participate in the election individually. DK issued a statement saying, Bokros refused their "fair offer" to provide a single mandate for his party with "not measurable support".{{cite web |access-date=14 March 2018|url=https://index.hu/belfold/2018/valasztas/2018/01/12/onalloan_indult_a_moma_a_valasztasokon/|title=Bokros: Gyurcsány átvert minket|date=12 January 2018}} While Bokros and some others withdrew their candidacy in favor of the parliamentary opposition, ten candidates of the MoMa ran in the 2018 national election, thus the party was not able to set a national list. They altogether obtained 617 votes.{{cite web |access-date=23 April 2019|url=http://www.valasztas.hu/dyn/pv18/szavossz/hu/JLCS/jlcs_571.html|title=Modern Magyarország Mozgalom eredményei (Valasztas.hu)}}

Lajos Bokros announced the disestablishment of the Modern Hungary Movement on 23 April 2019 with effect from 1 May. He said the delegation members decided to dissolve the party on their last meeting on 15 March. Bokros argued "he main reason for this is that we no longer see the point of serving as a scenario for the weak opposition activity that, under the pressure of arbitrariness, had mostly degenerated into the "Hunger Games".{{cite web |access-date=23 April 2019|url=https://index.hu/belfold/2019/04/23/megszunik_bokros_lajos_partja_a_moma/|title=Megszűnik Bokros Lajos pártja, a Moma|date=23 April 2019}}
