The party was founded in 2021 by Ivan Grech Mintoff, the former leader of Alleanza Bidla.[7] The party's registrations was initially refused by the Electoral Commission due to the party's name not being able to be shortened to an acronym. In response to this ABBA filed a judicial protest claiming the commission was discriminating against them. The Electoral Commission later agreed to register the party.[7][8] ABBA took part in the 2022 Maltese General Elections with candidates in all 13 districts,[9] they received 0.42% of votes.[10] Most ABBA candidates which ran in the election are also members of the Christian Charismatic Pentecostal group River of Love.[11]
The party describes itself as pro-life, with founder Ivan Mintoff claiming the Labour and Nationalist parties are "proposing a culture of death" and wish to legalise abortion. The party has filed a police complaint demanding the criminal investigation of 18 Maltese pro-choice activists and organisations.[14] Certain members of the party have espoused various controversial beliefs such as vaccine scepticism, being in favour of freedom of choice.[15]
