Netra Bikram Chand-Biplav, General Secretary of the Communist Party of Nepal, greets cadres during a show of power in Kathmandu, Nepal, on November 6, 2025. The show of power is organized with the demand for the formation of an all-party interim government following the Gen-Z uprising of September 2025. The party also calls the demonstration to make public its position on the recent political developments. Party leaders say the demand for an all-party interim government stems from what they describe as the failure of existing power arrangements to address national crises and public concerns. The Biplav-led party, which remains critical of the current political leadership, calls for a new political roadmap guided by national independence, social justice, and people's participation in governance.
