Former Nepali Prime Minister and Chairman of the CPN-Maoist Center, Pushpa Kamal Dahal, also known as Prachanda, raises his fist, a gesture of greeting, during the Central Committee meeting in Kathmandu, Nepal, on September 25, 2025.

The conclusions from the group discussions are presented in the plenary session, and Dahal responds to them. In particular, following the Gen Z movement of September 8 and 9 and the situation that develops after that, the Maoist Center prepares to hold a special general convention in November. This decision, made by the office-bearers' meeting, is proposed for discussion in the central committee. Once approved by the central committee, the decision gains formality. The Maoist Center's central committee consists of 408 members.
