At the 2017 general election the party gained 44.4 percent of the vote and won 56 seats, making it then the largest caucus at the time in the House of Representatives, but lost the majority in the 2020 election, gaining only 25.58 percent of the vote with 33 seats, losing 23 seats. National was unable to form a government following the election and remains the Official Opposition. Judith Collins has served as the leader of the National Party and leader of the Opposition since 14 July 2020.
