In January 2023, with Swaraj India deciding not to contest the elections, SKP relaunched itself and announced five candidates.[6] SKP fought the 2023 Karnataka Legislative Assembly elections in five seats, namely Melukote, Belthangady, Virajpet, Bilgi and Mandya constituencies.[6][7] SKP won the Melukote seat. Darshan Puttannaiah, son of late Puttannaiah, won the 2023 Assembly election from Melukote with support from Congress.[8] 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.[9]

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 Raitha Sangha and its youth wing, Hasiru Sena.[10]
