Madhesh Politics: Parties Face Decline, Seek Alliances Amidst Public Disinterest

Kathmandu. Madhesh has suffered the most politically after the Madhesh movement. The political power that emerged after the 2063/064 Madhesh movement ended before completing 20 years.

Parties like Janata Samajwadi Party Nepal, Loktantrik Samajwadi Party Nepal, Rastriya Mukti Party Nepal, Janamat Party, Nepali Sanghiya Samajwadi Party, Nepal Sadbhawana Party, Tarai Madhesh Loktantrik Party, Nagarik Unmukti Party, and Aam Janata Party, which are active in politics with Madhesh as their base, have become unrepresented in the House of Representatives. Among these parties, Jaspa Nepal, Losapa Nepal (which has already merged with Jaspa Nepal), Nagarik Unmukti Party, Nepali Sanghiya Samajwadi Party, and Janamat Party have a presence in the provincial assemblies. Similarly, some of these parties have a presence in local levels.
