The Madhesi Jana Adhikar Forum, Nepal (MJFN), or the Madhesi People's Rights Forum, Nepal, was a political party in Nepal. It was initially not a political party as such but a political advocacy movement demanding ethnic self-determination rights with the formation of a Madhes autonomous region for Teraibasi people, an election system based on proportional representation, and the setting-up of a federal republic in Nepal.[2] The MJFN includes former leaders of other political parties like the Nepali Congress and CPN (UML).[3]
The party was registered with the Election Commission of Nepal ahead of the 2008 Constituent Assembly election.[4] On 16 June 2015, the party merged with Federal Socialist Party and Khas Samabeshi Party to form the Federal Socialist Forum, Nepal.[5]
