The party's stated intent is to establish a just, equal, progressive, stable and harmonious society and serve as a platform for Sarawakians to express their concerns about issues affecting the state and safeguard the concerns and autonomy of Sarawak.[2]
It also seeks to push for a review of the status of the rights of Sarawak using the Malaysia Agreement and the Cobbold Commission report as its basis.[3] Parti Bumi Kenyalang is the only political party currently working on the concept of "In Quest of Independence" which is gaining support from Sarawak people.
As a pro-independence political party, Parti Bumi Kenyalang will seek freedom and independence for Sarawak by constitutional and legal means under domestic and international law based on inalienable right of self-determination mentioned in United Nations Assembly Resolutions 1514 and 1541 from the federation of Malaysia once it becomes the Sarawak Government.
The party made its electoral debut in the 2018 general election by contesting the Sarikei parliamentary seat but only managed to garner 392 votes resulting in the loss of the candidate's deposit. For 2022 general election, PBK has agreed with Parti Sarawak Bersatu to jointly use PSB's logo.[4]
