The newly formed organisation had its best performance in Kaunas. Here, it managed to elect its leader, Stanislovas Buškevičius, as member of Seimas between 1996 and 2004.

Following the municipal elections in 2011, the party received 6.49% of the votes in Kaunas city municipality council and won 4 seats there.^[1] It had no seats in the other municipalities. In the municipal elections in 2015 the party failed to win any seats.
