And-Jëf (Wolof for 'Act Together') was founded by Reenu-Rew at a clandestine congress on December 28, 1974.
Most of the leadership, including the main leader Landing Savané, was jailed in 1975. Savané was released in 1976, and resumed political activity.
And-Jëf was very active within the trade union movement UTLS.
In March 1980 And-Jëf started the publication Jaay Doolé Bi (The Proletarian).
In July 1981 the group was registered as a legal political party under the name And-Jëf/MRDN.
In 1991 And-Jëf/MRDN was one of the founding members of And-Jëf/African Party for Democracy and Socialism (AJ/PADS).
