Sikkim Krantikari Morcha (translation: Sikkim Revolutionary Front) is a political party in the Indian state of Sikkim which is the ruling party of Sikkim since 2019.
P.S. Golay, a member of the Sikkim Legislative Assembly, was one of the prominent figures of the Sikkim Democratic Front (SDF) and was a minister in the government of Sikkim. Since December 2009 he has been a vocal critic of Pawan Kumar Chamling, the President of the SDF and the former chief minister of Sikkim. He started the party Sikkim Krantikari Morcha on 4 February 2013. Golay became the Chief Minister of Sikkim on 28 May 2019, thus ending Chamling’s 25-year-rule. In the 2024 general elections the Sikkim Krantikari Morcha party won a landslide victory of 31 seats out of 32; in July 2024 the sole MLA of the opposition Sikkim Democratic Front, Tenzing Norbu Lamtha defected to Sikkim Krantikari Morcha, resulting in the Sikkim Legislative Assembly having no opposition.
