In 1983 CC changed its name to Canarian Nationalist Convergence (CNC). In the Canarian elections of the same year CNC gained 24,483 votes (3.96%) and a seat in the district of Gran Canaria. In may of the same year CNC became part of the "reformist operation" of Miquel Roca [1] and later changed its name again, this time to Canarian Reformist Convergence (CRC).
