From Presidency to Party Politics

The political landscape of Nepal is abuzz following former President Bidya Devi Bhandari’s formal return to active politics of the Communist Party of Nepal Unified Marxist and Leninist (CPN-UML). Announcing during the 74th birth anniversary of Madan Bhandari and the 25th anniversary of the Madan Bhandari Foundation (MBF) in Kathmandu on Saturday, she declared, “I have now rejoined the UML family as a member, and I am proud of it. I have no special ambition.”
