The Communist Party of Nepal (UML) has dissolved its Tansen municipal committee and all ward-level committees in Palpa following a review of its performance in the recent House of Representatives election.
The decision was taken during a review meeting held to assess the results of the Falgun 21 election. Party leaders concluded that the current organizational structure was not effective in advancing the party under existing conditions.
Tansen Municipal Committee Chair Gurans Aatrey said all 14 ward committees have been dissolved. He stated that new committees will be formed based on the preferences of party members, with a focus on making them more active and functional.
Until new committees are formed, the existing structures will continue to handle routine responsibilities.
Organizational Restructuring and Future Plans
A municipal convention has been scheduled for Jestha 3 to form a new municipal committee. Ward-level conventions will be held within three months to elect new leadership. Aatrey said the move is also intended to push for leadership restructuring at higher levels, stating that the party cannot move forward without changes in the current central leadership.
Calls for Leadership Reform and Review Findings
During the meeting, participants called for leadership renewal, with some suggesting that leaders above the age of 65 should step down.
The meeting was attended by UML central committee member and Palpa Constituency No. 2 candidate Thakur Gaire, along with district and provincial leaders. Gaire thanked voters and party members for their support during the election.
He urged party members not to be discouraged by the defeat, saying continued public service can help rebuild trust and lead to future electoral success.
The review concluded that the shift in voter support was influenced more by the national political environment than by local factors. Leaders and cadres from across the district and province participated in the meeting, which marked the start of a broader effort to reorganize the party structure.
