Perspective
Formation and Registration
The party was formed under the coordination of Member of House of Representatives, Resham Lal Chaudhary. Due to some acts of law, he could not chair the party, so his wife was chosen as chair instead. He left his former party, the People's Socialist Party, Nepal, claiming that it had become power-centric and that it forgot the mandate provided by the people alleging that the party used it as vote bank.[3]
Party expansion and first election
The party rapidly expanded in a few months in the Tharuhath region. The party surprisingly emerged as largest party of Kailali district winning 4 local levels including two municipalities and two rural municipalities.[6] The party swept away Loktantrik Samajwadi Party, Nepal and People's Socialist Party, Nepal from Tharuhath region keeping their traditional vote block.[7]
Later the party won 3 seats of 5 seats from Kailali district while won Bardiya 2. As a result party won 7 seats in Sudurpashchim Provincial Assembly while won 4 seats in Lumbini Provincial Assembly and 1 seat in Madhesh Provincial Assembly.[8][9] The party received 2.57 percent vote share in proportional polls and lagged behind from 3% threshold by 0.43%.[8]
