In 1986 both the CPN and VCN contested the elections.

In 1991 the congresses of the four founding parties ( PSP, PPR, CPN and EVP ) decided to officially abolish their parties.

In 1991, the party officially disbanded ; the VCN was joined by other former members of the CPN, who left because they disagreed with the new course, and founded the New Communist Party of the Netherlands ( NCPN ), which still exists today.

CPN ( Burma ) had 35 candidates in the 1991 parliamentary election.

A board was organised for the party-in-foundation and a GreenLeft Council, which was supposed to control the board and the parliamentary party and stimulate the process of merger, all five groups ( CPN, PPR, PSP, EVP and the Vereniging Groen Links all had seats as ratio of the number of party members.

On 22 November 2005, Prachanda and the Seven Party Alliance released a " twelve-point agreement " that expressed areas of agreement between the CPN ( M ) and the parties that won a large majority in the last parliamentary election in 1999.

The vertical split caused much harm to the party ; in the 1999 parliamentary election, CPN ( UML ) merely got 31. 61 % of the votes whereas the rival faction only secured 5 % of total votes.

This success can be attributed to several developments: the rising opposition to the Cold War, the party's appeal to the developing students ' movement and especially the anarchist Provo movement, for whom the PSP was the only acceptable party, and finally the CPN's internal conflicts-in 1958 three MPs had left the CPN and formed their own parliamentary party, led by Henk Gortzak, called the Bridge Group ( Dutch: Brug-groep ) and unsuccessfully competed in the 1959 elections.

In the parliamentary elections in 1999 CPN ( MLM ) had put up three candidates.

CPN ( ML ) won over the majority of the party membership in the Kathmandu Valley and almost half of the parliamentary group of CPN ( UML ).

In the 1989 elections the PPR, PSP, CPN and EVP entered in the elections with one single list called Groen Links.

The CPN ( UC ) set up Samyukta Jana Morcha, with Baburam Bhattarai as its head, as an open front ten contest elections.

This internal dissent had caused the CPN to fall to only one seat in the 1963 elections.

In 1984 the PPR, CPN and PSP formed the Green Progressive Accord that entered with one list in the European elections.

Ahead of the 1992 elections to local bodies CPN ( MLM ) took part in forming a front together with the Samyukta Jana Morcha, Nepal Workers Peasants Party, Communist Party of Nepal ( 15 September 1949 ) and Nepal Communist League.

In the following 1959 elections the CPN lost all but three seats, while the PSP won two seats, and the SWP was unable to win any seats.

The " new " generation has been very prominent: Ina Brouwer led the party in the 1994 elections and one of the party's senators Jos van der Lans was a member of the CPN.

Ahead of the 1992 elections to local bodies CPN ( 15 September 1949 ) took part in forming a front together with the Samyukta Janamorcha Nepal, Nepal Workers Peasants Party, Communist Party of Nepal ( Marxist-Leninist-Maoist ) and Nepal Communist League.

The 1994 election defeat of the Nepali Congress Party by the Communist Party of Nepal ( Unified Marxist-Leninist ) ( CPN ( UML )) made Nepal the first communist-led monarchy in Asia, with Man Mohan Adhikary prime minister.

The final distribution of seats in Parliament gave the Nepali Congress 113 ; the CPN ( UML ) 69 ; the RPP 11 ; the RJM 5 ; the NSP 5 ; the Workers and Peasants Party 1 ; and the United People's Front 1.

Major parties such as the Unified Communist Party of Nepal ( Maoist ), Communist Party of Nepal ( Unified Marxist-Leninist ) ( CPN UML ) and the Nepali Congress agreed to write a constitution to replace the interim one within 2 years.

CPN UML also joined this government, but the Nepali Congress took the part of the main opposition party.

During its period in parliament 1982-1986 it had trouble positioning itself between the small left parties ( PSP, PPR and CPN ), the PvdA and the CDA.

The increasingly close cooperation between PPR, PSP, CPN and EVP, and the ideological change that accompanied it was not without internal dissent within the parties.

The ideological change that CPN made from official communism to ' reformism ' led to a split in the CPN ; and the subsequent founding of the League of Communists in the Netherlands in 1982.

The CPN and the EVP disappeared from parliament.

In 1989 the PPR, CPN and PSP entered the 1989 European Parliament election with a single list, called the Rainbow.

Other participants were PPR chairman Bram van Ojik and former CPN leader Ina Brouwer.

It soon became clear tha the CPN wanted to maintain an independent communist identity and not merge into a new left-wing formation.

The PPR which had been the largest party in 1986 got the top candidate ( taken by Ria Beckers ) and the number five, the PSP the numbers two and six, the CPN the number three and the EVP number eleven.

Similarly former members of the CPN joined the League of Communists in the Netherlands to found the New Communist Party in the same year.
