        One of the bigger maoist parties that’s been in control basically got in control and takes part in liberal democracy, which to be fair is definitely a step up from not having them there and the monarchy which was there until 2008

    The story of some of these is actually pretty funny

    So basically in 2017 the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist Centre) and the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist-Leninist) together won the elections by a landslide, and a year later in 2018 they decided to merge their parties into one party called the Nepal Communist Party, so they did that and merged. However, in 2021 the Supreme Court decided the merger was invalid because the name was already taken by a different party, so they split back into the two original parties. But that's not all, right after the Nepal Communist Party split back into the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist Centre) and the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist-Leninist), the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist-Leninist) had some infighting and so some people decided to split off and form a third party, the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Socialist).

    Edit: Oh I almost forgot, a fourth party showed up in 2022 when the Communist Party of Nepal (Unity National Campaign) also split from the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist-Leninist)

      Four at least three of those (and one that isn't listed), what happened was the two largest parties won a landslide together in the 2017 elections and decided to merge, but the Supreme Court ended up declaring it invalid because the name they chose was taken and then because of infighting it didn't just split back into two but into four pieces

        Why didn't they just pick a different name after the ruling?

          Idk, but given the original unification was just after taking power, it's possible certain conflicts had already started to emerge and this gave them an opportunity to rise to the surface

    Pleased to report the main wikipedia article has much less cancer. Lot of these parties eventually merged or shrunk out of existence, so they have 5 parliamentary parties and just a handful of little splits now. Most of the minor ones arent even recognized.
