Its current leader is Laurynas Kasčiūnas following the resignation of Gabrielius Landsbergis in 2024 after the party's loss in the election.

In 2000, Gediminas Vagnorius' supporters split and new party called the Union of Moderate Conservatives was formed.

In 2000 municipal elections, the party received just 8.8 per cent of the vote ant mayorships of Kaunas and other districts.

[24][25] At the same time, the party attracted members from Lithuanian Social Democracy 2000 (e.g. Rimantas Jonas Dagys) and Modern Christian-Democratic Union (e. g. Egidijus Vareikis).

Prior to 2008 it was known as the Homeland Union (Conservatives, Political Prisoners and the Exiled, Christian Democrats) or TS.

[28] At the 2008 legislative election, the Homeland Union won 19.69 per cent of the national vote and 45 seats in the Seimas.

Together, they held a majority of 80 out of 141 seats in the Seimas, and the Homeland Union's leader, Andrius Kubilius, became Prime Minister for a second time.

Subsequent leadership election was won by the Member of European Parliament (and former advisor of Andrius Kubilius) Gabrielius Landsbergis.

[35] As a result of the scandal, the Homeland Union's support slightly increased at the 2016 legislative election (and it overtook the Lithuanian Peasant and Greens Union by 0.18 per cent), but, due to failure to win more single-member seats in Seimas, the number of seats held by the party fell to 31.

[37] Eventually, coalition was formed between the Lithuanian Farmers and Greens Union and the Social Democratic Party of Lithuania, which lasted until the autumn of 2017.

Šimonytė's performance in 2019 presidential election raised possibility about her nomination to the first place on party's list and as the future Prime Minister.

In November 2020, Ingrida Šimonytė became the new Prime Minister of a Homeland Union-Lithuanian Christian Democrats-led coalition.

In 2024 presidential election Ingrida Šimonytė was selected as candidate from the party, but she lost incumbent President of Republic Gitanas Nausėda.

Gabrielius Landsbergis announced his resignation as leader of the Homeland Union and as member of the next Seimas.

[46] It could explained by national composition in these urban areas (Lithuanians in 2001 census made up 95 and 92 per cent of population respectively).

The one exception would be Pasvalys district, where the party managed to obtain over 20 per cent of the vote in 2000 municipal elections.

In early 2010s with the rise of public election committees the Homeland Union lost support in Panevėžys and Kaunas.

In return, due to internal migration and suburbanisation, the party gained support in Vilnius area (notable example, Naujoji Vilnia).
