PMSD formed part of the historical MSM/MMM alliance as a minority party. It joined the Labour Party-led Social Alliance, which included other allies. In 2009 the PMSD merged with the Parti Mauricien Xavier Duval (PMXD) and retained its old name "PMSD". However Xavier Luc Duval became leader and Maurice Allet became president of the party. The PMSD renewed its focus on the Mauritian Creole community and remained a close ally of the Mauritian Labour Party. In the lead up to elections of 2014, however, the PMSD joined the Alliance Lepep, a coalition comprising the Militant Socialist Movement, the Muvman Liberater, and itself. It won 11 seats. Leading to the November 2019 elections the PMSD joined forces with its historical ally Labour Party to form an alliance called "Alliance Nationale". This alliance secured 14 seats in the Parliament.
