UML welcomes back leaders in party ‘homecoming campaign’



KATHMANDU: Leaders who had left CPN-UML for the Unified Socialist Party have returned to the UML amid dissatisfaction with the broader communist unification.

On Monday, UML Chair KP Sharma Oli welcomed Ramkumari Jhakri and Kisan Shrestha back to the party during the “Homecoming Campaign” in Kathmandu, presenting them with the party flag.

During the ceremony, leaders who had joined the Unified Socialist symbolically handed over their election symbols to Chairman Oli. The event saw the return of several central committee members, provincial committee leaders, and district-level leaders to UML.

These leaders had originally left UML during the formation of the Unified Socialist party four years ago. Chairman Oli’s move to reintegrate them into UML marks a consolidation effort ahead of upcoming political developments.
