In the
2024 elections to the
European Parliament, the party fielded the
Russophone homemaker Olga Čerņavska (), who previously had not been active in politics. In the campaigning period, Latvia's
State Security Service investigated her statements that were considered to be anti-Latvian and pro-Russian. In mid-June 2024, she defected to
Belarus, claiming 'electoral falsification' and 'death threats.' The propaganda of the regime of
Alexander Lukashenko has used her to publish content that attacks Latvian government and other institutions by using pro-Russian narratives (which is similar to the case of the Polish judge
Tomasz Szmydt who defected to Belarus in May 2024). In Belarus, Čerņavska joined former
COVID-19 misinformation activist Romāns Samuļs (). He had defected from Latvia to Belarus in 2022, after having failed to win a mandate to the
Latvian Parliament. In Belarus, Samul acts as a leader of a group of disillusioned Russophones from Latvia for the sake of anti-Latvian
propaganda. For the
2025 municipal elections, AJ formed a coalition with
Sovereign Power with other parties including the
Latvian Russian Union also being represented. == Election results ==
