NCP releases candidate list: New faces get priority (full list)

KATHMANDU: Ahead of the House of Representatives election scheduled for Falgun 21 (March 5), the newly formed Nepali Communist Party (NCP) has finalized its electoral strategy.

The party, created through the unification of NCP (Maoist Centre), NCP (Unified Socialist), and 16 other leftist groups, submitted its proportional representation (PR) candidate list to the Election Commission on Monday.

The unified party, bringing together diverse ideological factions, has emphasized inclusivity and youth representation in its first parliamentary test.

The 110-member PR list features mostly new faces who were previously overlooked and those active at the grassroots level.

“We have prepared this list by embracing the sentiments of all leftist factions and the essence of national inclusivity,” a party source said.
