The PA was successful in the general elections of 1994 and 2000, as well as the presidential elections of 1994 and 1999. However, the alliance was defeated in the 2001 general elections. After the creation of the United People's Freedom Alliance in 2004, most members of the People's Alliance merged into the new alliance. The CPSL and LSSP threatened to reform the PA as a separate front, however, such alliance was never formed.
