The People's Socialist Party, Nepal (abbr. PSP-N; Nepali: जनता समाजवादी पार्टी, नेपाल), also known as Janata Samajbadi Party Nepal is the eighth largest political party in Nepal.[2] Since the 2022 local election, the party has been limited to stand only as the third largest party of Madhesh Province after the Nepali Congress and CPN (UML) respectively.[3]
Recently the party faced a major split when 7 of 12 MPs in the House of Representative (lower house) formed a new party, People's Socialist Party under the leadership of party's federal council chairman Ashok Rai. With 5 out of 275 seats in the lower house and 3 out of 59 seats in the upper house National Assembly, the party is the eighth largest political party in the Federal Parliament.
