NEPAL- POLITICS- PRIME MINISTER PUSHPA KAMAL DAHAL FORGES NEW ALLIANCE

Pushpa Kamal Dahal, the Nepali Prime Minister and Chairman of the Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist Center (CPN-MC), is addressing an event in Kathmandu, Nepal, on March 4, 2024, just hours after forming a new alliance. Known by his nom de guerre Prachanda, which means "fierce," and as a former guerilla leader who led an insurgency for a decade, Dahal has forged a new alliance with the Communist Party of Nepal-Unified Marxist Leninist (CPN-UML), breaking ties with the Nepali Congress, the oldest and largest seat-holding party in Nepal's Federal Parliament. Dahal is justifying his shift in coalition partners by claiming that the Maoists will thrive amid upheaval and that this will continue in the Himalayan nation as long as he remains in politics. The Maoists, who signed a peace accord in 2006 to enter mainstream Nepali politics, have not been in the opposition in parliament since then. Dahal assumed power in December 2022 following general elections that resulted in a hung parliament. (Photo by Subaas Shrestha/NurPhoto)
