Efforts at unifying various Maoist groups in Nepal, in a bid to stay
politically relevant, have hit roadblocks over differences in ideologies
and ambitions of leaders.The biggest political party in parliament in
2008, two years after they gave up arms to end the civil war and join
the political mainstream, Maoists were relegated to the third spot five
years later.Several splits along the way due to personality clashes of
senior leaders have also weakened Maoists, enabling Nepali Congress and
Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist Leninist) to overshadow the
former rebels.
