The Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist-Leninist), also in order to as CPN-UML and CPN (UML), is one of the two largest political parties and the largest communist party in Nepal. It was created on January 6, 1991 through the unification of this Communist Party of Nepal (Marxist) and the Communist Party of Nepal (Marxist-Leninist). CPN (UML) was a program of the Jana Andolan (People’s Movement) uprising where communists, together with the Nepali Congress, played substantial role to restore democracy in Nepal. In the most recent elections, the CPN-UML emerged as the second largest party in the Constituent Assembly winning 175 out of 575 chairs. The fifth party congress (and the first one after the unification, the four first being of the original Communist Party of Nepal) occurred in Kathmandu in January 1993. People’s Multiparty Democracy was adopted as the party programme. Madan Bhandari was elected General Secretary and Man Mohan Adhikari was elected Chairman. Later the same year Bhandari died in a vehicle incident at Dashdhunga in Chitwan. After Bhandari’s death, Madhav Kumar Nepal was elected General Secretary, and she remained in post until 2008.
