In January 2023, with Swaraj India deciding not to contest the elections, SKP relaunched itself and announced five candidates.

Darshan Puttannaiah, son of late Puttannaiah, won the 2023 Assembly election from Melukote with support from Congress. He defeated C. S. Puttaraju of JD(S) by a margin of 10,862. In 2018, Darshan, contesting on Swaraj India ticket, lost to the same candidate, despite the support of Congress.

Congress took a strategic decision to support SKP as it enjoys the support of a huge section of the farmers and is backed by Karnataka Rajya Raithu Sangha and its youth wing, Hasiru Sena.
