Following the MPC's defeat in 1984, it was the main opposition party for the next two decades. In the 1998 assembly elections, it won 12 seats. 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. It ultimately won four seats in the 2018 election and their MLA quit to join Zoram People's Movement (ZPM). MPC was the third largest party in Mizoram for three decades. It merged with the People's Representation for Identity and Status of Mizoram (PRISM) party as the People’s Conference Party.
In June 2019, MPC left ZPM.
