Former Energy Minister Kulman Ghising (Center) holds a press briefing in Kathmandu, Nepal, on January 10, 2026, after being appointed as the chairman of the Ujyalo Nepal Party. The decision is made during the party's central committee meeting. Ghising, who previously serves as the party's patron, announces a merger with the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) two weeks ago. However, the agreement falls apart, paving the way for his formal leadership of Ujyalo Nepal. Ghising earlier resigns from three ministries - Energy, Water Resources, and Irrigation - amid criticism of his party representation in the government led by Sushila Karki. On December 29, 2025, Ghising and Lamichhane reach an agreement to unite their parties, which includes making Ghising the vice-chairman of RSP. However, Ghising demands changes to RSP's ideology, calling for a shift from a democratic to a leftist framework, and requests 33 central committee members, a senior vice-chairman, and one general secretary position. He also proposes adopting socialism as the party's guiding ideology.
