In the September 2015 legislative election, the alliance received 6.3% of the vote, providing the mandate for 17 seats in the Hellenic Parliament.[5]
In January 2017, the Movement of Democratic Socialists joined Democratic Alignment.[6]
Οn 13 January 2017, MPs Leonidas Grigorakos and Ilchan Achmet joined the Democratic Alignment.
On 16–18 March 2018, DISI and other Greek centre-left parties merged into Movement for Change.[7][8]
