The formal announcement of the Nepali Communist Party has been made. The unification was declared during a program held at Bhrikutimandap in Kathmandu on Wednesday.

Similarly, a proposal to appoint Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ as the coordinator and Madhav Kumar Nepal as the co-coordinator of the party has been passed.

Leader Mahendra Raya Yadav had proposed the appointment of the coordinator and co-coordinator, which was approved by the assembly.

Various communist factions came together on Wednesday to announce the formation of the new party.

CPN (Unified Socialist) leader Ram Kumari Jhakri has announced that her journey with the party has come to an end.

Speaking at a press conference in Kathmandu today, Jhakri , who is also one of the founding leaders of the Unified Socialist, said that the party has now been dissolved and, consequently, their journey has concluded.

Although the Unified Socialist, under the leadership of Madhav Kumar Nepal, decided to merge with the CPN (Maoist Centre), Jhakri, Kishan Shrestha, and several others expressed disagreement with the decision.

Sharing her views at the press conference, Jhakri said that when the party split from the CPN-UML to form the Unified Socialist, they had envisioned a powerful movement, but that possibility has now vanished.

“In the early days of forming the CPN (Unified Socialist), we had joined with the belief that we would launch a strong movement, but that did not happen,” she said. “Our journey with the Socialist Party ended along with the dissolution of that party.”

Before Jhakri spoke, another Unified Socialist leader, Kishan Shrestha, had stated that they were unconditionally returning to the CPN-UML.

He said, “We don’t want anything. It’s enough if our old home welcomes us back with a smile and treats us with respect.”
