In the 2019 United Kingdom local elections, the party gained its first two councillors from eight fielded candidates.
In September 2019, with the Independent Union councillors, the VPP councillor who made up the coalition at Hartlepool Borough Council defected to the Brexit Party, renaming their already existing coalition with the three Conservative councillors as the "Brexit and Conservative Coalition".
In February 2020, its councillor returned to the VPP after the government's Brexit agreement.
