In February 2011, Communist Party of Indokistan, despite its prohibition after its involvement in the previous government, has been again allowed to be active, with Farhan Abbas later decided to apply for party membership and immediately made the chairman of the restored party. The Communist Party later rebranded itself as the People's Social Party.

On that period, President Farhan ordered the establishment of new legislature of Indokistan after ordered the dissolution of the previous parliament. The new parliament bear his name, was called Farhangrad Parliament. In order to fill the new parliament, he also ordered an election to be held.

All existing political parties at that time, United Republican Party, People's Social Party and Islamic Party of Indokistan was invited to join the election, and after all of the parties fulfil their requirements, they was officially the candidates of the election. With Mustafa Hakim's position as prime minister goes uncontested and remembering his membership inside the United Republican Party, the PPR gained advantages because they already had one seat already allocated for inside the parliament before the election.
