How new are new political parties in Nepal?

We have seen an upsurge of so-called new political parties in Nepali politics. Indeed, they are new because they have fresh political faces to proclaim their optimistic intentions. Then, it appears, they have a selfless commitment to radical socio-economic development for the people of this country.

In contrast to old conventional political parties , these new parties do not have dark spots of gross negligence, corruption, or mismanagement on them yet. Hence, the people of Nepal have unbound expectations that these new parties will significantly contribute towards the state’s accountability, transparency and economic growth.
