From Guns To Roses: Former Rebel Group Nepal Communist Party (Maoist) Prepares To Contest Election With Rose As Election Symbol
Netra Bikram Chand, General Secretary of the Nepal Communist Party (Maoist), is surrounded by cadres holding a red rose, the election symbol of the party, as they receive the certificate of registration from the Election Commission in Kathmandu, Nepal, on November 18, 2025. Chand leads the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist), a communist rebel group that enters politics in 2021 after signing a 3-point peace deal with the then government. The Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) stages a nationwide spree of violence over a period of time and now formally registers for the election. The CPN (Maoist) splits from the Maoist Communist Party, which now merges into the Nepali Communist Party, which fought government troops between 1996 and 2006 when it gives up its armed revolt and enters mainstream politics.
