They joined David Ben-Gurion's coalition government alongside Mapai, the Progressive Party, the Sephardim and Oriental Communities and the Democratic List of Nazareth.

They also demanded that Ben-Gurion close the Supply and Rationing Ministry and appoint a businessman as Minister for Trade and Industry.

After the differences were resolved, Ben-Gurion formed the second government on 1 November 1950, with the United Religious Front retaining its place in the coalition.

For the 1955 elections, the party joined with Agudat Yisrael to form the Religious Torah Front, which won six seats.

After the split, Poalei Agudat Yisrael joined the coalition and Binyamin Mintz was made Minister of Postal Services.

For the 1973 elections the party joined with Agudat Yisrael again to recreate the Religious Torah Front, which won five seats.

Not to be confused with the Religious Kibbutz Movement, Poalei Agudat Yisrael had two affiliated kibbutzim, Hafetz Haim and Sha'alvim.
