Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’, the former Prime Minister of Nepal and chairman of the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist Center), has refuted suggestions that he is about to step down from his leadership role. Despite ongoing discussions about leadership transition within the party, Prachanda maintains that now is not the appropriate time for a change. He emphasizes the need for stability amid a challenging political climate, acknowledging the need to consolidate the party’s position. However, Prachanda, who is nearing 70, has indicated that he is open to taking on a different role in the party in the future. He expresses a desire to focus on larger, transformative objectives for the nation, drawing on his experience and recognition as a key figure in Nepal’s political landscape. His comments follow recent internal party discussions concerning leadership succession and come at a time when the government is facing a period of political uncertainty.
