Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda,’ coordinator of the Nepali Communist Party (NCP) and former Prime Minister, has stated that the party is entering elections nationwide in line with its demands. Speaking at a “Party Entry” program organized by NCP in Kathmandu Constituency No. 5, he said the party was founded based on the principles and spirit of the Jana Andolan (People’s Movement).
“We have formed the Nepali Communist Party to unite all communist forces in Nepal. Currently, 26 smaller and larger parties have merged into this party, and thousands of cadres have joined,” he said.
The former Prime Minister emphasized that the NCP has always advocated elections and is now contesting across the entire country. He added that the party has grown stronger day by day and has become a center of public trust. Prachanda also cautioned that attempts may be made to attack democracy under the guise of populism, while highlighting that the NCP is gaining public momentum nationwide.
CPN candidate from Kathmandu-5, Kalpana Sharma, said that following the Jana Andolan, the country has taken a new direction and that the NCP’s victory is essential to institutionalize the movement. Himal Sharma, the NCP candidate from Kathmandu-6, urged voters to support the party, stating that it is advancing with a new election symbol in line with the spirit of the movement.
The program also saw dozens of individuals, including senior athlete Renuka Shrestha, leaving the UML to join the NCP.
