Former Nepali President and leader of CPN-UML Bidhya Devi Bhandari (center) interacts with the media at the party headquarters in Lalitpur, Nepal, on July 20, 2025, after holding a meeting with Prime Minister and Chairman KP Sharma Oli. The meeting between former President Bidhya Devi Bhandari and Prime Minister as well as CPN-UML Chair KP Sharma Oli occurs amid growing internal disputes within the party. After completing her two terms as President, Bhandari visits the party office after a gap of 10 years. The meeting between the two leaders occurs at a time when Oli reportedly tries to prevent Bhandari from returning to active party politics. Despite having renewed her organized membership a year ago, her membership remains pending, as declared by Oli in Saturday's politburo meeting. Former President Bhandari, who serves two terms as head of state, publicly declares her return to active UML politics during a program organized by the Madan Bhandari Foundation on June 28, 2025, stating that she has already renewed her membership. Bhandari previously holds the position of vice chair in the party before becoming president. However, Oli and his close allies adopt a firm stance against allowing her reentry into the party's leadership or upcoming events, including the second Statute Convention scheduled for September 6-7, 2025. The ongoing tensions reflect deeper internal conflicts within the party over leadership control and the future direction of UML, the largest communist party of the Himalayan nation.
