In the 2017 elections, the party won two seats, held by Francis Maneke and Temu.[2] Both MPs left the party during the parliamentary term.

As of May 2019, the party had 2 seats in the National Parliament. It is led by Temu, who is its sole MP. Temu returned to the party on 15 May 2019 after leaving People's National Congress.[2]
