In the 2023 Polish parliamentary election, Galla lost his seat in the Sejm, leaving the party with no national representation.

The party first participated in the 1991 Polish parliamentary election, where it gained more than 132 000 valid votes nationwide, equating to 1.18 %.

The party also included representatives of other Polish minorities on its lists — Lemkos, Roma, Belarusians and Karaites.

In its programme, the party emphasized regulating the status of all Germans in Poland, specifically advocating for the Law on National Minorities.

One of the main goals of the party is the propagation, popularization, and development of German education, culture, art, and language in Poland.

"[3] German Minority puts heavy emphasis on solidarity and corporatism in its program, stressing the importance of fostering a community in contrast to individualism.

As such, the party believes that Poland has an obligation to uphold equal rights for all, particularly caring for the needs of weak and small social groups.

The party also calls for a high increase of salaries for teacher and healthcare workers, and believes that public facilities need to be modernised in order to be more accessible for the disabled and seniors.

[10] As an organisation representing a national minority, it is not required to pass the election threshold of 5% as standard political parties in Poland are.

[11][12] The second former Sejm deputy, Henryk Kroll (7,897 votes), lost his seat and announced his resignation from the chairmanship of the Social-Cultural Association of Germans in Silesian Opole, whose delegates are due to elect a new president early 2008.

Following the loss of their single seat, German Minority wrote a statement: "Despite the loss of our representative in the Polish Parliament, we firmly believe that the change that has taken place in the proportions of votes in the Sejm will bring about a democratisation of social life, an improvement in many fundamental pillars of the state and a return to elementary social dialogue.
