With the merger, Bamdev Gautam, the campaign coordinator, formally joins the CPN-Unified Socialist, which forms after a split with the CPN-Unified Marxist Leninist led by KP Sharma Oli following an intra-party rift. As per 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.

In 2021, after breaking off from CPN-UML, both former Prime Ministers Madhav Kumar Nepal and Jhalanath Khanal form the CPN (Unified Socialist), while Gautam chooses not to join the new party. Gautam at the time launches his own CPN Unity National Campaign, announcing he will work to bring all the communist forces under a single umbrella by not joining any side, the CPN-UML, US, or the Maoist Center. Though multiple rounds of talks are initiated, an agreement does not work out.
