PBDS, a breakaway of SNAP, won 15 seats in the Sarawak state election 1987, while its ally, PERMAS, won only 5 seats.

Overall, the Sarawak's National Front won 28 constituencies with PBB 14; SUPP 11 and SNAP 3.[1] In both cases, SNAP and PBDS (both parties now defunct) joined the Malaysian National Front (Barisan Nasional) as the ruling coalition.

The party was dissolved twice, firstly in 2003 and secondly in 2004 due to leadership crisis between Datuk Daniel Tajem as the PBDS president and Dr James Jemut Masing as the challenger.

The dissolution of PBDS led to the formation two offshoot parties; one is Parti Rakyat Sarawak (PRS) led by Datuk Dr James Jemut Masing and Datuk Sng Chee Hua which was successfully registered and admitted into Barisan Nasional in 2004 while another Malaysian Dayak Congress (MDC) failed to be registered by the Registrar of Societies (ROS). Meanwhile, there was also an attempt to revive PBDS[2] and it was finally successfully approved and re-registered as Parti Bansa Dayak Sarawak (Baru) in 2013.[3]
