His visit to New Delhi to address party supporters comes at a time when the Himalayan nation is scheduled to hold House of Representatives elections on March 5 this year; During this period, many Nepalis living abroad are expected to return to their country to vote.

Haribol Gajurel, a senior leader of the Nepal Communist Party, told IANS: “The main mission of the visit is to convey the message of unity of the communist forces under the umbrella of the Nepal Communist Party by addressing the Nepali society, especially the supporters of our party.” “We are holding mass meetings to convey the message of unity within the country and this is part of a similar meeting in New Delhi.”

With new elections on the horizon, political forces in Nepal are making efforts to strengthen themselves. Following the Generation Z movement in September last year, traditional political parties, including the party led by Prachanda, are facing increasing criticism for their failures.
