A further split occurred within the CPN (Maoist Centre) when a group led by Ram Bahadur Thapa (Badal) joined CPN (UML). Similarly, a group led by former prime minister Madhav Kumar Nepal and Jhala Nath Khanal split from CPN (UML) to form CPN (Unified Socialist).

In December 2021, a small group led by Hridayesh Tripathi left CPN (UML) to form the People's Progressive Party. Another group led by Senior Vice-president Bam Dev Gautam left CPN (UML) in September 2021 and is preparing to form a new party as of February 2022.
