History

The CPN (Marxist) was closely connected to Communist Party of India (Marxist). CPN (Marxist) was a member of the United Left Front and took part in the Jana Andholan against the Rana regime in 1990. The party merged with another constituent of the United Left Front, the Communist Party of Nepal (Marxist-Leninist) to form the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist-Leninist). A sizeable section of the old CPN (Marxist) leadership did however broke away from the CPN (UML) and reconstituted their own Communist Party of Nepal (Marxist).
