Kathmandu. The Central Coordination Committee meeting of the Nepal Communist Party is currently underway. Central Office Secretary Govinda Acharya stated that the meeting, held at the central office in Parisdanda, is focusing on an election review and contemporary political developments.

This is the first time the Nepal Communist Party has convened a meeting of the Coordination Committee. The party was formed by the merger of 25 factions, including the former CPN (Maoist Centre) and CPN (Unified Socialist). In the election concluded on Falgun 21, the party secured a total of 17 seats, winning 8 under the first-past-the-post system and 9 under the proportional representation system.
