Lingden and Thapa are going to unite ahead of the House of Representatives elections. Earlier, after Lingden won the RPP chairmanship, Thapa left the party. He was defeated by RPP's Deepak Bahadur Singh as a candidate from Hetauda on the UML election symbol in the 2079 election.

RPP has a long history of division and unity in Nepali politics. Kamal Thapa announced his departure from RPP after losing in the last general convention in 2078. He had left the RPP with a heavy heart after reaching Hetauda on 25 Mangsir 2078.
Thapa had been dissatisfied after being defeated for the presidency in the party general convention. He revived the old party RPP, Nepal. Lingden had secured 1,844 votes in the general convention. Thapa had secured 1,617 votes.
Thapa had accused former King Gyanendra Shah of interfering in the election process of the general convention and was defeated for the presidency.
Before that, in 2076 BS, RPP Thapa, Pashupati Shumsher Jabra and Prakash Chandra Lohani had announced unity. The process of unification of the two RPPs began again in 075 Kartik. Before that, the RPP, which had been unified in 2073 Mangsir, was divided in Shrawan 2074.
In 2074, after disagreements over entering the government, a dispute arose between RPP Chairman Thapa and senior leader Rana, and Rana split the party and formed the RPP (Democratic).
