'''Sikkim Rajya Manch Party (SRMP)''' (English Translation: Sikkim State Forum Party) is a regional political party in the [[India]]n state of [[Sikkim]]. Founder and Incumbent President is [[Rup Narayan Chamling]] (R. N. Chamling) who is a little brother of former Chief Minister of Sikkim and the president of [[Sikkim Democratic Front]] (SDF), [[Pawan Kumar Chamling]].

==History==
In spite of the objection of Pawan Kumar Chamling, R.N. Chamling stood as an independent candidate in the bye-election of [[Sikkim Legislative Assembly]] on 16 September 2014. R. N. Chamling won and beat the candidate of SDF, [[Kumari Manger]] in [[Rangang-Yangang (Vidhan Sabha constituency)|Yangang]].<ref>{{cite news|title=R.N. Chamling wins Sikkim by-poll|url=https://www.business-standard.com/article/news-ians/r-n-chamling-wins-sikkim-by-poll-114091600497_1.html|newspaper=Business Standard|access-date=22 November 2019|date=16 September 2014}}</ref> Pawan Kumar Chamling didn't forgive R. N. Chamling's behavior, and didn't accept him as a Member of SDF. As the result, R. N. Chamling kept his position as an independent Member of Legislative Assembly.

On 7 December 2017, R. N. Chamling established the new party, '''Sikkim Rajya Manch Party''' (SRMP) in [[Sribadam]] in West Sikkim. He was elected to the President of SRMP, and declared to fight with SDF.<ref>{{cite news|title=Chamling's younger brother assails SDF rule, floats new party|url=https://www.outlookindia.com/newsscroll/chamlings-younger-brother-assails-sdf-rule-floats-new-party/1204619|newspaper=Outlook|access-date=22 November 2019|date=7 December 2017}}</ref>

In March 2019, SRMP participated in the electoral alliance, [[Sikkim Progressive Alliance]] (SPA) which was formed by [[Sikkim Sangram Parishad]] (SSP), [[Sikkim National People’s Party]] (SNPP) and [[Sikkim United Front Party]] (SUFP).<ref>{{cite news|title=Four Parties form Sikkim Progressive Alliance|url=http://www.uniindia.com/~/four-parties-form-sikkim-progressive-alliance/States/news/1528140.html|newspaper=United News of India|access-date=31 October 2019|date=14 March 2019}}</ref> SPA sent 8 candidates for [[2019 Sikkim Legislative Assembly election]], 1 candidate for [[Sikkim (Lok Sabha constituency)|2019 Sikkim Lok Sabah election]], and 3 of 9 are SRMP candidates.<ref>{{cite news|title=SPA Announces 9 Candidates Including Lok Sabha Candidate|url=https://voiceofsikkim.com/2019/03/18/spa-announces-9-candidates-including-lok-sabha-candidate/|newspaper=The Voice of Sikkim (TVOS)|access-date=22 November 2019|date=17 March 2019}} However, on the eve this election, SSP withdrew its candidate, Tara Battarai in Upper Tadong.</ref> But in this election, all SRMP candidates lost and secured only 3.85% (R. N. Chamling from Rangang-Yangang) or less votes in each constituency.

SRMP didn't participate in the Bye-Election of Sikkim Legislative Assembly on 21 October 2019.
