Nepal Former President Bidhya Bhandari Intensifies Preparations To Return To Mainstream Politics-1
Bidhya Devi Bhandari, former Nepali President who serves two consecutive terms, attends the launch program of her contact office in Kathmandu, Nepal, on August 21, 2025. In late June, the former President announces her return to mainstream politics as a member of the ruling Communist Party of Nepal- Unified Marxist Leninist (CPN-UML). Former President Bhandari, also the former vice-chair of the UML, is twice elected President of the country. She is also the wife of the late Madan Bhandari, the UML general secretary credited with providing the ideological basis for the UML's entry into competitive parliamentary politics. He dies in a car crash in Chitwan, Nepal, in 1993 under mysterious circumstances. (Photo by Subaas Shrestha/NurPhoto)
