Grande was a member of the Liberal Party central board in 1999–2000, and was deputy leader from 2000 until 2010. Grande was elected MP for Oslo in 2009 parliamentary election, although the Liberal Party suffered a severe blow; she and Borghild Tenden of Akershus were the only Liberal MPs to be elected. Following the resignation of Lars Sponheim as party leader, she was elected leader of the Liberal Party at the General Assembly in 2010.

In 2013, under her leadership, the Liberal parliamentary group grew with seven more members of parliament. Currently the Liberal Party, along with the Christian Democratic Party (Norway) (KrF), is in an agreement with the two governing parties, the Conservative Party (H) and the Progress Party (FrP), giving them influence on policy although they are outside the government.
