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.

It was led by Absamat Masaliyev, a former leader of the republic in the Soviet era, until his death in 2004. The present chairman is Bumairam Mamaseitova.[2]

PKK publishes Pravda Kyrgyzstana.

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