Disgruntled leaders of Naya Shakti Nepal, including the party’s former Organisational Department chief Devendra Poudel, on Friday formed a Broader Polarisation Coordination Committee to determine the party’s future political roadmap.

Issuing a press statement today, leader Poudel among other 17 leaders said they would soon hold a national assembly of the party and determine the party’s future political roadmap and manifesto.

Devendra Poudel, Kumar Poudel, Mahendra Paswan, Bamdev Chhetri, Mukti Pradhan, Sushila Shripaili, Pasang Sherpa, Balawati Sharma, Sharmili Tamang, Tilak Thapa, Amardhoj Lama, Bahid Ansari, Lal Kiran, Ratna Rana, Hari Chaulagain, Kul Bahadur Moktan, Lalit Thagunna and Rabindra Sunuwar are in the committee.

The party led by former Prime Minister and former senior Maoist Baburam Bhattarai was registered with the Election Commission in March, 2016.
