Originally named Alajuelense Democratic Action was a provincial party for the Alajuela Province. The first general elections contested by the party were in 1982, when it won a single seat. However, it won only 0.3% of the vote at the 1986 elections and lost its seat. It did not contest the 1990 elections, but returned in 1994, winning 0.8% of the vote, but no seats. In 1998 it received only 0.5% of the vote and remained without parliamentary representation.

In the 2002 elections the party was part of the Coalition Change 2000 that won only 0.8% of the vote and no seats.
