The Åland Progress Group was a new party that was formed during the 1995 - 1999 session of the Lagting by a member of the Lagting who until that point had been a member of Freeminded Co-operation.

Following the elections, the previous government formed by Åland Centre, Freeminded Co-operation and one independent, was replaced by one comprising the Åland Centre, Freeminded Co-operation and the Non-aligned Coalition.[1] However following a motion of no confidence in March 2001 this was replaced by a government made up of the Åland Centre and Liberals for Åland.[1]
