In the 2018 Mizoram Legislative Assembly election, Zoram People's Movement had emerged. It supported some independent candidates with the same symbol, flag and policy, and won 8 seats. Zoram People's Movement was reformed as a political party from a movement group. Mizoram People's Conference left the alliance in 2019 due to ZPM becoming a political party.
In 2020, some members of ZNP left the alliance due to the election of their party, along with issues assigning a new party leader and reforming Zoram Nationalist Party (ZNP).
In 2023, the party won all 11 wards in the newly formed Lunglei Municipal Council.
