UNPMC, besides the Maoist Mohan Baidya faction, comprises various political parties including Nepal Communist Party (Unified), CPN (Maoist), Tamsaling Nepal Rastriya Dal, Nepal Nagarik Parties and organizations including Tharu Mukti Sangram and Federation of All Nepal Indigenous Nationalities, among others.
