The party is led by economist Highvie Hamududu.[2][3] In the 2021 Zambian general election, PNUP won a single seat in the National Assembly in the constituency of Nalolo, with Imanga Wamunyima in the seat.[4][5]
In December 2024, the PNUP joined the UPND Alliance, thereby deciding that it will not field its own candidate at the 2026 general election and will endorse Hakainde Hichilema of the United Party for National Development for that position.[6][7]
