Following the MPC's defeat in 1984, it was the main opposition party for the next two decades.[2] In the 1998 assembly elections, the party formed a pre-poll coalition with the Mizo National Front. the Mizoram People's Conference won 12 seats and the Mizo National Front won 21 seats, enabling the two parties to formed a coalition government. The coalition fell in December 1999 after a secret agreement between the People's Conference and the Indian National Congress to fite the elections to the Village Council together.[3]
However, in the 2003 elections, the party won only three seats, a number which fell to two in the 2008 elections and one in 2013.[2] It ultimately won four seats in the 2018 election but left ZPM in June, 2019. Their MLAs quit to join Zoram People's Movement (ZPM).[2][4]
It merged with the People's Representation for Identity and Status of Mizoram (PRISM) party as the People’s Conference Party.[2]
