Islanders will be able to vote for a new political party in Jersey at the 2022 General Election.
The Progress Party has launched itself as a "grass roots" group with members "actively encouraged to participate in developing policy and decision making".
It will join Reform Jersey as one of two political parties in the island.
Senator Steve Pallett will serve as the party's interim leader, with fellow members including Deputy Steve Luce and former deputy Eddie Noel.
The Progress Party will aim to "represent a broad cross section of the local population", according to Senator Pallett.
