It was the largest single party in the Legislative Assembly of Kyrgyzstan between 2001 and 2005 with 15 of the 60 seats. In 2005 it won 1 of 75 seats. Two years later the party took eight seats in the larger 90-seat Supreme Council. The Communists, however, failed to win any seats in successive legislative elections held in 2010 and 2015. In 2020 their leader Masaliyev ran on the United Kyrgyzstan list.

The party considers itself to be the successor of the Communist Party of Kyrgyzstan, the Communist Party which controlled Kyrgyzstan under Soviet rule.
