The Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist-Centre) (Nepali: नेपाल कम्युनिष्ट पार्टी (माओवादी-केन्द्र), or CPN (M-C), is a Nepalese political party. It was founded in 1994 and is currently led by Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal (more commonly known as Prachanda).
Following massive popular demonstrations and a prolonged civil war against the monarchy, the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) became the ruling party during the Nepalese Constituent Assembly election, 2008. The CPN(M) led a coalition government until May 4, 2009 when Prachanda resigned over a conflict with the Nepalese President, Ram Baran Yadav, regarding Prachanda's decision to sack the head of the Nepalese Army, Rookmangud Katawal.
The Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist-Centre) was previously known as the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) and Unified Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist). It formally unified with the Communist Party of Nepal (Unity Centre-Masal) in January 2009, resulting in its full, current name.
In the most recent elections, the CPN(M-C)emerged as the third largest party in the Constituent Assembly winning 80 out of 575 seats.
The CPN(M) was formed following a split in the Communist Party of Nepal (Unity Centre), and used the name CPN (Unity Centre) until 1995. On February 13, 1996 the party launched the "Nepalese People's War", and it gained control of some rural areas throughout Nepal before a ceasefire agreement was reached.Since their formation in 1994,they were in arms for the establishment of democracy in Nepal.Unlike other communists they support democracy and Multi- party system in Nepal.In 2006, they joined hands with Seven-party Alliance(SPA)for the establishment of Democracy as the National Political System of Nepal.
