Nepal Communist Party Directs Subordinate Committees to Submit Review Report on Recent Federal Elections Within Seven Days

Kathmandu. The Nepal Communist Party (NCP) has directed its subordinate committees to submit a comprehensive review report on the House of Representatives elections held on Falgun 21 within seven days.

 The party's central office in Parisdanda sent 'Election Special Directive-3' to the subordinate committees, issuing this instruction to the Election Mobilization Committees formed under each constituency. The directive, signed by party chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal 'Prachanda' and co-chairman Madhav Kumar Nepal, mandates that a factual study of all activities carried out during the election mobilization must be reported to the central office within one week.

Discussing the election results, the NCP concluded that this election, conducted amidst abnormal circumstances and various conspiracies, has brought democracy back on track. The leadership clarified that the party will now play a constructive role as a responsible opposition in the parliament according to the mandate given by the voters. Informing that the party secured eight seats in the first-past-the-post category and nine seats under proportional representation in the election, the leadership also extended thanks to all winning candidates, deployed leaders, cadres, and voters.

However, the leadership pointed to various reasons for the results not meeting the party's expectations. The party believes that it had to rush into the elections before the organizational adjustments from the recent unification process were complete, and there was insufficient time to establish the new election symbol and policies among the public. Furthermore, the directive letter acknowledged that the situation was not conducive due to the political uncertainty following the events of Bhadra 23 and 24 and the lack of sufficient time to counter the negative propaganda spread in the media sector.

It is in light of these abnormal circumstances that the leadership has requested a review report to conduct a minute study of the party's work and the activities of rival parties. The report, due within one week, is directed to provide a factual analysis covering the formation of the Election Mobilization Committee, assignment of responsibilities to leaders and cadres, publicity campaign planning, financial mobilization, distribution of promotional materials, and the use of digital media and social networks. 

Similarly, the leadership has directed that a realistic report including suggestions be sent as soon as possible, covering booth committee formation, volunteer mobilization, the effectiveness of their candidates, activities of the opposition parties, the vote status secured by major parties, challenges faced during the election, and an overall assessment of strengths and weaknesses.
