Kathmandu, Nov 3 – The Deshbhakt Samajbadi Morcha has formally joined the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist Centre). Kirati had separated from the Maoist party in 2017, alleging that the party leader Pushpa Kamal Dahal had deviated from the goal of an identity-focused federal system.

Kirati, who had previously spoken out against the Maoists, rejoined the main party due to unfavorable political conditions. He established a three-point accord with Maoist Centre leader Dahal prior to his return.

The pact emphasizes the importance of unity and consolidation among revolutionaries despite the extraordinary political challenges in Nepal. It also suggests establishing a committee to record and impartially examine previous ideological, political, and organizational errors.

According to the agreement, the review is intended to direct unity and socialist change from the local level.

The pact also involves organized conversations within the party regarding Kirati’s concept of socialist democracy.

The involved parties advocated for enhancing socialist development within both national and global movements, encompassing laborers, farmers, landless individuals, economically oppressed groups, and displaced populations. They committed to advancing socialist principles.

They claimed the program is intended to protect Nepal’s independence, unity, and natural assets, promote a state with socialist characteristics, and oppose established bureaucratic and capitalist administration, involving energetic involvement from Generation Z young people.

Kirati’s return to the main party occurs one day following the decision of eight communist groups, including the Maoist Centre and the CPN (Unified Socialist), to unite into a single party, with Dahal serving as coordinator and Madhav Kumar Nepal, chairman of the Unified Socialist, as co-coordinator.

Coordinator of the negotiation team, Beduram Bhusal, verified the choice.

As per the 17-point unity pact signed on Sunday night, the new political entity will be called the Nepal Communist Party (Socialist) and will adopt the five-pointed star as its electoral emblem. “The arrangement for Prachanda [Dahal] to serve as coordinator and Madhav Nepal as co-coordinator has been concluded,” Bhusal mentioned. “The merger will be formally declared during the National Unity Conference on November 5.”

Bhusal mentioned that following the party’s announcement, a merger proposal will be filed with the Election Commission for existing registered parties. “Once registered, we will start getting ready for the elections,” he said.

After the merger of the eight parties, a central committee consisting of approximately 1,000 members will be established, comprising central figures from each of the parties. Furthermore, the central committees of all eight parties will take part in the National Unity Conference, which will officially declare the party merger, approve the manifesto and temporary regulations, and establish the central committee.
