Discussions on Leftist Party Unity Intensify Amidst Electoral Setbacks

Kathmandu. Discussions about unity between the major leftist parties CPN-UML and the Communist Party of Nepal are intensifying. Both these leftist parties suffered a severe defeat in the elections held last February. Discussions about party unity began after the defeat.

CPN leader Agni Prasad Sapkota says such discussions are only policy-level. He clarified that although unity among leftists is necessary, there is no immediate possibility.
