The CPN (Maoist Centre) had formed a task force in 2023 to unify splinter communist groups and launched formal and informal talks with the
Nepal Socialist Party and
Communist Party Nepal to bring back the splinter groups into the party. The
CPN (Unified Socialist) which was formed after a split with
CPN (UML) merged with the
CPN (Unity National Campaign), another splinter group from the CPN (UML), in July 2025. The party also held talks with the CPN (Maoist Centre) but the merger between the two parties failed to materialize. The
Socialist Front was a political alliance formed by
CPN (Maoist Centre),
People's Socialist Party, Nepal,
CPN (Unified Socialist),
Communist Party Nepal in 2023 with the goal of strengthening the socialist movement in the country. The front remained largely inactive until CPN (Maoist Centre) chairman
Pushpa Kamal Dahal resigned as prime minister in July 2024. The People's Socialist Party, Nepal left the front while a faction of
Nepal Socialist Party led-by
Mahindra Ray Yadav joined the front. Following the
2025 Gen Z protests, the CPN (Maoist Centre) intensified calls for a broader leftist unity within the country and dissolved its Central Committee to hold a general convention. In November 2025, the Central Committee of the CPN (Unified Socialist) formally endorsed the unification proposal with a majority and the Secretariat of the CPN (Maoist Centre) also decided to advance with the unification. Following the decision the two parties along with the
Nepal Socialist Party, CPN (Socialist), Jana Samajbadi Party, CPN (Maoist–Socialist), CPN (Samyabadi) and a faction of the
Communist Party Nepal signed an agreement to unify their parties. The unification was formally concluded on 5 November 2025, with the unified party being called the Nepali Communist Party with Pushpa Kamal Dahal acting as the coordinator of the party and Madhav Kumar Nepal as the co-cordinator. In the leader up to the general elections,
Matribhumi Jagaran Abhiyan Nepal led by former
CPN (UML) politician
Bhim Rawal,
Nagrik Unmukti Party, factions of
People's Socialist Party and
Rastriya Mukti Party Nepal, and other smaller leftist groups merged with the party. == Ideology ==
