The party drew its name from the populist agrarian party active before World War II, called the Polish People's Party "Wyzwolenie" (meaning, Liberation) even though, it had little to do with its original program. PSL "Nowe Wyzwolenie" received 7 seats in the infamous 1947 Polish legislative election which was falsified with the help of Soviet MGB advisors, Stalinist Secret Police (Urząd Bezpieczeństwa, UB) and squads of heavily armed Volunteer Reserve Militia (ORMO) functionaries deployed across the country in order to ensure a communist victory by intimidation and violence.

The parliamentary candidates from the Stronnictwo Ludowe "Nowe Wyzwolenie" included Bronisław Drzewiecki, Bronisław Kloc, Władysław Kosydarski, Witold Oleszczak, Michał Rękas, Władysław Ryncarz, and Jan Witoszka. Following the elections, the party merged with the People's Party (Stronnictwo Ludowe) in Lublin. The two leaders were Tadeusz Rek and Bronisław Drzewiecki.
