Established in 1987 as KKE Interior – Renewing Left (ΚΚΕ εσωτερικού – Ανανεωτική Αριστερά or ΚΚΕσ–ΑΑ), the party resulted from the KKE Interior splitting in two. The party didn't play a major role in electoral politics during the 1990s. This would only change in 2000, when the party aligned with Synaspismos, and in 2004 became one of the founding forces of SYRIZA.
AKOA held the status of an observer in the Party of the European Left until it eventually dissolved into Syriza in 2013.
