As a result, the founders of KPiD split from the DKP and organized themselves under the label 'Communist Forum,' but after three years, on November 7, 1993, they changed their name to the Communist Party in Denmark.

In the last few decades, various attempts of the DKP, the KPiD and the KP to form a unified communist party have failed.

The KPiD temporarily dropped its demand that the DKP would prohibit dual membership with Unity List, in order for the merger to go ahead.

However, chairman Arne Cheller and other members of the national leadership resigned from the party only a few days earlier.

The reason behind the resignation was a conflict on the unification process between the KPiD and two other communist parties.
