Kathmandu, Nepal — Two factions of Nepal’s Janata Samajwadi movement have formally agreed to reunify, marking a significant political development ahead of the upcoming elections to the House of Representatives.
The unity agreement was signed on Monday between Upendra Yadav, chair of the Janata Samajwadi Party Nepal (JSP-N), and a faction led by Renu Yadav, co-chair of the Janata Samajwadi Party. Leaders from both sides confirmed that the deal includes full organisational integration.
The agreement follows an earlier unification announced on Sunday between the Terai Madhes Loktantrik Party and the Janata Samajwadi Party Nepal, indicating broader consolidation efforts among Madhes-based political forces.
Leaders said the reunification aims to strengthen the protection and promotion of federalism and republicanism, achievements of the Madhes movement, while ensuring the political, social and constitutional rights of the Madhesi community.
According to Pradeep Yadav, a leader from the Renu Yadav faction, the majority of central committee members will merge back into the original party under the leadership of Upendra Yadav. He described the unity as “inevitable” given the changing political landscape.
“The decision reflects the aspirations and expectations of the Madhesi people,” he said, adding that the move was made with a focus on collective strength ahead of the national elections.
The reunification is expected to have a notable impact on Madhes-region politics and electoral alignments in the months ahead.
