DAP fielded its own list for the 1923 Łodz City Council election, albeit whilst maintaining alliance with the Polish Socialist Party (PPS) and the General Jewish Labour Bund in Poland. The DAP list obtained 11,421 votes and won five seats in the City Council, far more than the German bourgeois nationalist BDP (which obtained 5,581 votes and 2 seats). The collaboration with PPS and Bund left to the departure of the Utta-led faction. Utta joined the German nationalist-conservative camp.
