The party won 12 out of 325 seats in the parliamentary election held in 2016.[4]
The PPS achieved its best result in the 2021 Moroccan general election winning 22 out of 395 seats and was able to form a parliamentary group for the first time in the party's history, despite the fact that party leader Nabil Benabdellah was defeated in the Rabat constituency.[5]
