With the merger, Bamdev Gautam, the campaign coordinator, formally joins the CPN-Unified Socialist, which forms after a split with CPN-Unified Marxist Leninist led by KP Sharma Oli following the intra-party rift. According to the merger agreement, Gautam, also a former Home Minister, receives the third most senior position in the Unified Socialist after party chair Madhav Kumar Nepal and senior leader Jhalanath Khanal. The Unified Socialist and the group led by Gautam split from the CPN-UML in 2021 and have been operating separately since.
