NMSP 79,508
TMSP 65,047
MJF(R) 35,289
Federal Sadbhavana Party 25,215
These eight parties are natural allies and are candidates for becoming one party. Add to that JP Gupta's grouping. That makes it nine. The Tharu parties might be a harder nut to crack. But attempts have to be made. Bijay Gachhedar should take the lead there. If he can not even unify the Tharu parties, what good is he?
Tharuhat Tarai Party Nepal 62,526
Dalit Janajati Party 48,802
Federal Democratic National Front (Tharuhat) 21,519
Tharuhat Tarai Party Nepal 13,811
And then there are the fringe Madhesi parties.

Madhesi Party Unification: 14 Parties, Not Just 3
Madhesi Parties: 12 Lakh PR Votes
It is to be noted that the Madhesi parties did not get fewer votes than in 2008. At 12 lakh votes, they seem to compete with the Maoists themselves. There was no anti-incumbency wave against the Madhesi parties. They punished themselves by being divided into 14 parties. There is no need for another Madhesi Movement. There is only a need for a unification among these 14 parties.
