Previous to the founding of NKE in 1987, only one political party existed in UPV Cebu College. The Student Council then was characterized as being dominated by the "party-going" elite elected primarily due to popularity and not for their principles and leadership credentials. With that, the Student Council became ineffective in responding to the students' issues and, at the same time, failed to lead the students in their struggle. Fired by the desire for change in Student Council governance and the recent triumph of the First People Power, different student organizations in UPVCC led by the LATAGAW Brotherhood, the Political Science Society, and the members of the Alpha Phi Omega fraternity founded NKE in 1987.
Originally a political party and an alliance of student organizations, NKE participated in the 1987 Student Council elections and attained a 13-1 landslide victory. Since then, NKE has garnered majority seats in the Student Council except for the year 2003 when the elections took a transition from the usual July schedule to February.
To further uphold and protect the interests of the students, the NKE party-alliance recognized itself as a mass organization to effectively lead in the students' struggle for academic freedom and democratic rights.
