The Communist Party of Nepal (Revolutionary Maoist) (), abbreviated CPN (RM), is a communist party in Nepal. It was founded on June 2012 by the then vice-chairman of Unified Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist), Mohan Baidya after splitting from the party. History Formation and first split, 2012–2014 On June 2012, Mohan Baidya split off from UCPN (Maoist) along with 45 of 149 central committee members to form the Communist Party of Nepal–Maoist, also referred to as dash Maoists. He accused the party of being filled with opportunists and the leadership of destroying the achievements of the People's War. He also termed accepting the line of "democratic republic" in 2005 and signing the Comprehensive Peace Accord in 2006 as major mistakes by the Maoist leadership. The party boycotted the 2013 Nepalese Constituent Assembly elections and opposed the interim government led by Chief Justice Khil Raj Regmi that was conducting the elections. The party tried disrupting the elections detonating bombs in several places which resulted in the death of a child. On 24 November 2014, party general secretary, Netra Bikram Chand "Biplav" along with 12 central committee members split from the party accusing Baidya of weak leadership and failure to lead the party to a new stage of revolution. The new party was formed in 29 November 2014 as the Communist Party of Nepal Maoist. Revolutionary Maoist, 2015–present The party merged with CPN (Unified) on 8 November 2015 and agreed to name the party CPN (Revolutionary Maoist). The party suffered another split on 14 May 2016 when a faction advocating for unification with the UPCN (Maoist) elected Ram Bahadur Thapa as the party chairman and decided to merge with the UCPN (Maoist) and other Maoist parties to form CPN (Maoist Centre). The party joined electoral politics in 2017 and formed the Patriotic People's Republican Front, Nepal () as its electoral front under the leadership of Chandra Prakash Gajurel. Ideology The party has adopted the line of unified people's revolution. Scientific socialism is their political program. The party has also endorsed a political line of "new people's revolt" moving forward from the line of "people's war" from the previous Maoist party.
