Official Analysis

Speculation about a left alliance has persisted since the merger of several communist parties into the Nepali Communist Party and reports of meetings between NCP coordinator Pushpa Kamal Dahal 'Prachanda' and CPN-UML chair KP Sharma Oli. However, recent statements reported by NepalNews and Khabarhub quote Prachanda explicitly ruling out any electoral alliance or seat-sharing deal with other parties, including the UML and Nepali Congress, for the upcoming HoR election. Co-coordinator Madhav Kumar Nepal has also said there is "no basis" for electoral coordination with the UML under current circumstances. While post‑poll arrangements remain an open political question, there is no evidence of a formal nationwide alliance for March 5, and key actors have publicly denied it.
