The party presented for the first time in the 1992 Regional Elections. The list was led by Ernest Moutoussamy, obtaining 13 106 votes (10,78 %) and 5 seats. The PCG led by Mona Cadoce reduced to 7100 votes (5,84 %) and just 3 seats.

1993

In the second round of the 1993 French Legislative Elections, Ernest Moutoussamy defeated his former comrade, Mona Cadoce of the PCG, in the Second District.

In the European Elections, Ernest Moutoussamy led a list called "Assembly of the Overseas and Minorities" with the PPM, the PSG, and the PCR. The list won 37 041 votes (0,19%) of the total votes in France.

1995

It's a bad year for the PPDG, Henry Bangou lost his senate seat to the Dominique Larifla. The division of the PPDG led to his loss of the seat. Henri Bangou gathered 202 votes, and Marcelin Lubeth gathered 127 votes, but they were forced to withdraw from the second round in favour of Dominique Larifla, who arrived before them, with 260 votes.

In the municipal elections, Jérôme Cléry was defeated by Lucette Michaux-Chevry in Basse-Terre. Re-election of Ernest Moutoussamy in Saint-François, Henri Bangou in Pointe-à-Pitre and Marcellin Lubeth in Sainte-Anne.

1997

Ernest Moutoussamy was elected mayor of Mould.

1998

In the regional elections the party was in alliance with the FGPS and GUSR with Jacques Gillot (GUSR) as the head of the list. This is no match for the RPR led by Lucette Michaux-Chevry. Chevry's list(63 065 votes, 48,03 %) won twice as many votes as Gillot's list(32 148 votes, 24,49 %).

The party lost its influence at that time, and is moving towards an alliance with the FGPS or the GUSR depending on their respective circumstances.

2000s

It is a traditional ally of the FGPS-Victorin Lurel.

gollark: Basically, the "demand-based" prices which aren't actually based on *how much people are willing to pay* are an utterly broken idea.
gollark: Yes, I did some testing and it works.
gollark: If you buy a share in yourself the price goes up. You can then buy further shares at the higher price, then sell them all at once so they all go for that high price. 2% is taken as bank fees if you have debt, but your net worth still goes up.
