Former prime minister Baburam Bhattarai has left the Pragatisheel Loktantrik Party.
Bhattarai served as the party’s patron.
He had informed the party that he wished to remain independent and not hold any organizational responsibility.
Accordingly, the party has decided to “respect his personal choice and extend best wishes to Bhattarai.”
The party also extended best wishes to Sudan Kirati, member of the council of chairpersons, who joined the Shram Sanskriti Party on Friday.
According to party Chairman Santosh Pariyar, the party has also decided to convene a secretariat meeting soon to prepare and implement the overall plan for its general convention.
The party will hold its general convention under Pariyar’s leadership.
