Gautam was elected as Vice Chairman of the party during the Ninth General Convention of the UML. In the past few months, he had been organizing a campaign to keep the UML unity intact as Chairman K P Oli and senior leader Madhav Kumar Nepal were at odds. Senior leader Nepal has already formed a new party called CPN (Unified Socialist) party.


Gautam had earlier formed a separate party after severing ties with the UML in 1998 and formed CPN (ML). The party was later merged into the CPN-UML. Gautam has again renounced the UML's membership again after 25 years.


Gautam had earlier announced to be part of the Nepal-led Unified Socialist party. Leaders close to him have already joined the Nepal-led party. His wife is a member of the House of Representatives.
