Formation
The dispute amongst members of the People's Socialist Party, Nepal arose when Yadav did not call a meeting with the party's central committee. He was criticized for neglecting demands for more inclusive leadership and accused of trying to turn the organization into a national party.[10] A faction led by Bhattaraj conducted a central committee meeting in Jadibuti, Kathmandu on 12 and 13 July 2021 which concluded in the formation of the Socialist Party of Nepal.[11]
Several central committee members from the previous party, including Hisila Yami, Ganga Narayan Shrestha, Bhakta Bahadur Shah, Prashant Singh, Damber Khatiwada, Dan Bahadur Chaudhary, and Durga Sob, joined the new group.[12][10][13] A majority of central committee members from Lumbini and Gandaki provinces also joined the party, including former ministers Dan Bahadur Chaudhary and Govind Chaudhary. Former constituent assembly members Muhammad Okil Musalman and Chinak Kurmi also joined the party.[14][15]
Nepal Samajbadi Party (Naya Shakti), began its first national convention in Kathmandu, with 1,500 representatives electing its leadership. Founded in 2016 as Naya Shakti, the party underwent multiple mergers before its rebranding in 2023. Currently unrepresented in parliament, it aims to reshape Nepal’s political landscape and build progressive alliances.[16]
