Communist Party of Nepal (Unified) (Nepali: नेपाल कम्युनिष्ट पार्टी (एकिकृत)) is a communist party in Nepal. The party was formed in 2007 through the merger of three groups:
- A breakaway group of the Communist Party of Nepal (Marxist-Leninist) led by Rishi Kattel
- A breakaway group of Communist Party of Nepal (Unity Centre-Masal), whose Janamorcha Nepal faction was led by Chitra Bahadur Ale
- A breakaway group of Communist Party of Nepal (Marxist-Leninist-Maoist Centre) led by Sitaram Tamang[1]
The General Secretary of the party is Ram Singh Shris (Rajbir).[2] The party had two members in the interim legislature of Nepal, Pari Thapa and Navraj Subedi.
[edit] CA polls
The party presented its manifesto for the Constituent Assembly polls on March 10, 2008. The party proposes making Nepal into a federal republic with 11 states and 2 sub-states, based on ethnicity, language and geography. It proposes having a ceremonial president, and resting executive powers in the office of the Prime Minister. According to its manifesto, there would be a limit of two mandate periods for the Prime Ministership. Both Prime Minister and president would be elected by the parliament.[3]
The party won two seats through the Proportional Representation vote, but no seat in the First Past the Post system.[4][5]
