At the end of 2020, a major split in the Nepal Communist Party (NCP) revived the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist–Leninist) (CPN (UML)) and the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist Centre) (CPN (MC)).[1][2]
A further split occurred within the CPN (Maoist Centre) when a group led by Ram Bahadur Thapa (Badal) joined CPN (UML).[3] Similarly, a group led by former prime minister Madhav Kumar Nepal and Jhala Nath Khanal split from CPN (UML) to form CPN (Unified Socialist).[4]
In December 2021, a small group led by Hridayesh Tripathi left CPN (UML) to form the People's Progressive Party.[5] Another group led by Senior Vice-president Bam Dev Gautam left CPN (UML) in September 2021 and was preparing to form a new party as of February 2022.[6][7][needs update]
