In 2012, then Vice Mayor Michael Rama bolted from the party and created his own group named as Barug Team Rama,[3] which was later changed to Partido Barug upon its registration in COMELEC.[4] Its formation has prevented BOPK from achieving its previous feats of landslide victories in 2007[5] and 2010 local elections[6] when it was only competing with Kugi Uswag Sugbu of former Mayor Alvin Garcia.

It is currently affiliated with the Laban ng Demokratikong Pilipino since 2018.[7] It was previously affiliated with the Liberal Party and Lakas-Christian-Muslim Democrats. Prior to that, it was the city's equivalent of another national party founded by another Osmeña scion, the Probinsya Muna Development Initiative.

In the 2019 elections, BOPK won eight seats in the Cebu City Council and two of its candidates for the House of Representatives namely Rodrigo Abellanosa and Raul del Mar.[8]
