After Wong Yuk-man's faction left the party in 2013, People Power developed a warmer relationship with the mainstream pan-democrats and cooperated with the LSD over parliamentary tactics such as filibustering.

In the 2016 Legislative Council election, the party formed an electoral coalition with the LSD in which they received about seven percent of the votes, seeing Raymond Chan being re-elected.

The People Power was established in early 2011 after two legislators Raymond Wong Yuk-man and Albert Chan Wai-yip quit the League of Social Democrats (LSD), citing disagreement with leader Andrew To and his faction.

[2][3] Besides the defected LSD members, the party was formed by political groups including the Wong Yuk-man's Proletariat Political Institute, Power Voters supported by Stephen Shiu Yeuk-yuen, the owner of the Hong Kong Reporter, the re-grouped Frontier and the two pro-ROC organisations China Youth Organization and Democratic Alliance.

[5] Chairman Christopher Lau Gar-hung failed to win a seat with Stephen Shiu in Hong Kong Island.

The alliance won two seats in total with two incumbents Leung Kwok-hung and Ray Chan re-elected in the New Territories East.

Raymond Chan and Tam Talk-chi represented People Power and joined the 2020 legislative election, after winning the pro-democracy primaries earlier.

[12][13] People Power was under pressure after the imposition of the national security law and the arrest of democrats, including Chan and Tam.

However, in December 2021, Leung was accused of attempting nominating a non-member as an executive of the party, reportedly filling up the vacancy by former vice-chairlady Chin Po-fun.

38 members left the party to protest the move, including Tam Tak-chi and So Ho, the two vice-chairmen, and former chairman Christopher Lau.
