Baburam Bhattarai Leaves Progressive Democratic Party

Former Prime Minister Baburam Bhattarai has formally separated himself from the Progressive Democratic Party, marking a significant political development within the party leadership.

Bhattarai, who had been serving as the party’s patron, informed the party that he wished to remain independent and not hold any organisational responsibility.

The party acknowledged his decision and said it respected his personal choice. The announcement comes at a time when the party is also facing changes in its wider leadership structure, including the departure of another senior figure.

Baburam Bhattarai Steps Away From Organisational Role

The Progressive Democratic Party confirmed that Baburam Bhattarai is no longer associated with the party in an official capacity. According to the party, Bhattarai had communicated his intention to stay independent and avoid involvement in organisational duties.

Party leaders said the decision was made based on Bhattarai’s own preference. The party also extended its best wishes to him following his exit from the leadership structure.

Bhattarai had been serving as the party’s patron before stepping aside from the role.

Party Responds to Bhattarai’s Decision

The Progressive Democratic Party stated that it highly respected Bhattarai’s personal decision. The leadership said the party had accepted his request and formally wished him well for the future.

The development marks an important moment for the party, as Bhattarai had remained one of its senior and recognised political figures. His move to stay outside organisational responsibilities may reshape the party’s internal structure ahead of future political activities.

Party officials, however, did not indicate any dispute or disagreement linked to his departure.

Sudan Kirati Also Receives Farewell Message

Alongside Bhattarai’s exit, the party also extended best wishes to central leadership member Sudan Kirati. Kirati joined the Shram Sanskriti Party on Friday, according to the party statement.

His decision represents another notable change within the Progressive Democratic Party leadership in a short period of time.

The party leadership publicly acknowledged his move and wished him success in his new political journey.

• Sudan Kirati joined the Shram Sanskriti Party

Leadership Focus Turns Toward General Convention

Following the leadership changes, the Progressive Democratic Party said it would soon organise a secretariat meeting to prepare for its upcoming general convention.

Party Chair Santosh Pariyar said discussions would focus on creating and implementing an overall convention plan. The meeting is expected to shape the party’s organisational direction in the coming period.

The announcement suggests that the party intends to continue internal preparations despite recent departures from senior positions.

Santosh Pariyar to Lead Convention Process

The party confirmed that the upcoming general convention will move forward under the leadership of Santosh Pariyar. He is expected to oversee preparations and guide the convention process.

Although the party is dealing with changes among key figures, the leadership has indicated that organisational activities will continue without interruption.

The upcoming convention is likely to become an important stage for the party as it reorganises its leadership and future plans.

Political Changes Draw Attention Inside the Party

The departure of Baburam Bhattarai and the political shift involving Sudan Kirati have drawn attention to ongoing developments inside the Progressive Democratic Party.

Bhattarai’s decision to remain independent while stepping away from organisational responsibilities represents a major transition for the party. At the same time, Kirati’s entry into another political force adds to the changing political landscape surrounding the organisation.

Despite these developments, party leaders have maintained a positive tone, publicly expressing respect and goodwill toward both departing figures.
