The party clearly bounced back in 4624, where it obtained one-sixth of the seats and became first in the duchy of Middenriding.

In 4632, Kim Ferns become the new leader of the party.

In 4639, the party enters in the Kingston Cabinet I.

It was short-lived because the PP ex-Prime Minister Catherine Kingston had accepted the conditions of the HLC in exchange of the confidence and supply they would provide for the cabinet. The conditions were judged unacceptable by the party members and Catherine Kingston was expelled from the party. After that, the PP parliamentarians voted for the No-Confidence Motion of the LDP and an early election was organised in 4640.

In 4644, after almost 4 years with the Hopkins I Cabinet with the PP in the opposition, the party loses 4 seats. The election also sees the rise of the HLC, but the PP still refuses to cooperate with the far-right religious party.

In the 4645 election, the party loses 14 seats.
