In the 2013 parliamentary election, the party achieved 8.2% and moved into the Althing with six seats. In the early election on October 29, 2016 , Björt framtíð received 7.2% of the vote, leaving the party with four seats in the Althing. Since January 11, 2017 she was involved in a coalition government made up of the Independence Party , Viðreisn and Björt framtíð. The Bjarni Benediktsson cabinet (2017) included two representatives from Björt framtíð, Óttarr Proppé (health) and Björt Ólafsdóttir (environment and natural resources).

In September 2017 Björt framtíð announced that he would be leaving the coalition. As a result, the Bjarni Benediktsson cabinet broke up and a new election was held early . In this election Björt framtíð received only 1.22% of the vote and could no longer move into the Althing. Óttarr Proppé resigned as party chairman, his successor was Björt Ólafsdóttir.
