TheTerai–Madhesh Loktantrik Party (Nepali:तराई-मधेस लोकतान्त्रिक पार्टी (तमलोपा)) is apolitical party inNepal.[1] Although the party's primary base is still inTerai Madhesh of Madhesh Province only, it has tried to expand its throughoutTerai andTharuhath regions of Nepal.[2]
The party was officially registered at Election Commission on 13 December 2021.[3]Brikhesh Chandra Lal is the chairman of the party and former member of constituent assembly,Bijay Kumar Singh is the senior leader of the party.[4]
The party was officially registered on 3 December 2021 for the second time under the name.[5]

Similarly leaderLal andSingh were active as central committee member ofLoktantrik Samajwadi Party, Nepal. They were also the founding leader of previously Mahantha Thakur ledTerai Madhesh Loktantrik Party (Defunct). They had leftNepali Congress along with Thakur to form the party.[6]
On 22 February 2021, hundreds of party caders and leaders fromLoktantrik Samajwadi Party, Nepal led by Lal and Dr Singh joined the party.[7] Among them were Ramji Ray, Dhirendra Bahadur Singh, Satis Lal Das, Yogendra Rai, Umesh Mandal and Mohammad Asgar Ali.[8] This created a huge loss to former party organization inDhanusha andMahottari district.[7]
The party won several seats in eastern terai and won several ward chairs inJanakpur,Mahottari rural municipality and other munucipalities. Similarly, the party won chairperson ofMahottari Rural Municipality which lies inMahottari 3 which remains the election concituency ofMahantha Thakur.[9] This was seen as a major success of the party as the party was able to divert traditional vote bank ofJanata Samajwadi Party andLoktantrik Samajwadi Party ending their monopoly in the Madhesh province.[10][11]
