CPN-UML Concludes Recent Elections Have Put Democracy Back on Track

Kathmandu. The Communist Party of Nepal (CPN-UML) has concluded that the recently held House of Representatives election has created a situation to bring democracy back on track.

The CPN-UML, by sending 'Election Special Directive-3' to its subordinate committees, stated that the election, held under abnormal circumstances against a backdrop of various suspicions, uncertainties, and conspiracies, has played a positive role in bringing democracy onto the track.

The directive letter, signed by the party's coordinator Pushpa Kamal Dahal 'Prachanda' and co-coordinator Madhav Kumar Nepal, clarified that respecting the mandate given by the voters, the party will now play a constructive role as a responsible opposition in the parliament.

The CPN-UML has acknowledged that there were various reasons behind the results not meeting their expectations in the election. The main reason cited is the situation where the party had to rush into the election before the completion of organizational adjustments following the recent unification process.

The leadership understands that due to the short timeframe, the party's ideology, policies, programs, and new election symbol could not be established among the public. Furthermore, the CPN-UML claims that the situation could not turn favorable for the party as there was insufficient time to counter the political uncertainty following the events of Bhadra 23 and 24 and the misleading and negative propaganda spread in the media.
