In the federal election of October 2011, the MCG won one of Geneva's eleven seats in the National Council, with Mauro Poggia (b. 1959), formerly of the Christian Democrats and also the Italian Union of Christian and Centre Democrats.
Since then, Union of Christian and Centre Democrats is always in the government of the Region: at the beginning with the center-right (1996-2008), then with the President Raffaele Lombardo's Movement for Autonomies (2008-2012), and finally with the center-left (since 2012).

The party was formed in May 2011 by former members of The People of Freedom, the Union of Christian and Centre Democrats and the Democratic Party in support of Raffaele Lombardo's regional government.

Casiniani refers to the faction around Pier Ferdinando Casini, leader of the Union of Christian and Centre Democrats, a political party in Italy.
DCA was founded on 25 October 2004 by a split from the Union of Christian and Centre Democrats (UDC) led by Gianfranco Rotondi, who wanted closer ties with Silvio Berlusconi's Forza Italia and who criticized the political line of the then leader of UDC Marco Follini.
The main candidates were Enrico Musso, an independent politician supported by the main political forces of the New Pole for Italy (UDC, ApI and FLI), and Marco Doria, who was chosen as the candidate for the center-left coalition on 13 February 2012 via the coalition's primary elections.
The group is led by Mario Diana, who had been the floor leader of the PdL until the very split, and includes Gian Vittorio Campus (ex-PdL), Roberto Capelli (ApI, ex-UDC), Claudia Lombardo (ex-PdL), and Massimo Mulas (UPC, ex-UDS).
