Its candidate Charles Brumskine placed third in the presidential poll, winning 13.9% of the vote. The party won 2⁄15 of the half up for election seats in the Senate and nine in the House of Representatives.
In October 2010, the party was set for a coalition with the Congress for Democratic Change (CDC), the largest party in the Legislature. The deal would have seen the two field a single list of candidates and presidential candidate in the next year's elections; a shared leadership of Brumskine and the CDC's standard-bearer, George Weah.[1] This deal fell apart, and party accordingly announced in February 2011 its senator Franklin Siakor had been chosen as Brumskine's running mate for the election.[2]
The 2014 senate elections saw the party take second (or third if including the independents), with 11.47% of the vote, however the third-largest tranche of party political seats – all being geographic – happened to favour the then lesser-polling Unity Party. The LP share of the up for election half of senate seats was 2⁄15. The party has 4 of the 30 senators, the most recently elected being Abraham Darius Dillon in 2019.
In the 2017 two-purpose elections, the party eked out third (or fourth if including the independents), with 9.62% of the presidential vote; 8.57% in the House. In the latter its sum of three seats was surpassed by the lesser-polling PUP, and by the greater-polling independents with 13 of the 73 seats.
