Communist Marxist Party


Communist Marxist Party is a political party in Kerala. The party was founded in 1986 when CPI leader M. V. Raghavan was expelled from the CPI due to a grave difference of opinion regarding the formation of alliances with the IUML. His support for forming a united front with non-secular parties such as the "Muslim League" in order to take on alliances led by the INC was ultimately rejected by the CPI leadership. He was subsequently expelled from the Party.
In 2011 assembly election of Kerala, CMP fielded three candidates but could not win any seat and presently the party does not have representation in Kerala assembly. CMP has links with the Party of Democratic Socialism of Saifuddin Chaudhury in West Bengal. M.V. Raghavan attended the PDS state conference in December 2003.
In the 2005 municipal elections in Kollam, the CMP candidate R. Vijayachandran won in the Asramam North constituency.
