It was originally called the Solomon Islands Coalition for Change. The name was changed to the Solomon Islands Alliance for Change, or SIAC.[1][2] It campaigned as the Solomon Islands Alliance for Change Coalition.[3]

It won power in 1997 and began government reform. Manasseh Sogavare was a member, and served as Finance Minister in Ulufa'ulu's Government.[4]

At the legislative elections, 5 December 2001, the alliance won 12 out of 50 seats.[5] At the last elections in April 2006, it also won about 12 seats.[citation needed]
