Sudan Kirati Joins Shram Sanskriti Party Leadership
Former Progressive Democratic Party leader Sudan Kirati merges his faction with the Shram Sanskriti Party as part of a new political alliance campaign
Sudan Kirati is set to join the Shram Sanskriti Party in a major political realignment that could reshape the party’s internal leadership structure ahead of future political campaigns.
The former chair of the council under the Progressive Democratic Party stepped down from his position before agreeing to merge his faction with the Shram Sanskriti Party. The decision followed ongoing discussions between Kirati and party leaders after the election period.
The agreement was finalized during talks held late Wednesday night between Shram Sanskriti Party chair Harka Sampang and Kirati. Party officials say the move is part of a broader effort to strengthen cooperation around a new political direction and national campaign.
Sudan Kirati to Take Senior Leadership Role
Kirati is expected to assume the role of senior leader within the Shram Sanskriti Party after formally joining the organization alongside members of his political group.
Party leaders confirmed that preparations have already been completed for a formal welcome event in Kathmandu. The program is scheduled to take place at Hardik Hotel, where senior figures from both sides are expected to participate.
The merger is being viewed as one of the most significant political developments inside the party since the election period, especially because it brings a recognizable national figure into the organization’s senior leadership structure.
Agreement Reached After Late-Night Discussions
Leaders involved in the negotiations said the agreement was reached after extensive internal discussions focused on political unity and future cooperation.
According to party officials, both sides agreed in principle to move forward together under a common political framework. They also confirmed that additional ideological and organizational details will be finalized in the coming days.
Senior party leaders described the understanding as an effort to build a wider political movement with shared goals and a collective vision for the country.
Negotiations Included Leadership and Central Committee Representation
Discussions between the two sides also included representation within the party’s central structure.
Party lawmaker Dhruvaraj Rai said there is a broad understanding that Kirati’s group will receive one secretary-level position along with 15 seats in the party’s central committee.
- Kirati will become senior leader of the party
- His faction is expected to receive one secretary position
- The group may also secure 15 central committee members
- Formal announcement is scheduled in Kathmandu
Rai said party members had actively pushed for the inclusion of a senior political figure and welcomed Kirati’s decision to join.
Shram Sanskriti Party Leaders Speak About Unity Campaign
General Secretary Aryan Rai said the agreement reflects a shared commitment to work together through what he described as a new national campaign.
He explained that the two sides had agreed on the broader political direction and would gradually release more details regarding ideology, organizational structure, and future plans once internal preparations are completed.
Party leaders emphasized that the process is still developing and that a more detailed political framework would be introduced after further consultations.
Kirati Had Been in Talks With the Party Since Elections
Political discussions between Kirati and the Shram Sanskriti Party had reportedly continued for several months following the elections.
Leaders familiar with the process said communication between the two sides intensified in recent weeks, eventually leading to the final agreement announced on Thursday.
The merger is expected to strengthen the Shram Sanskriti Party’s internal structure by bringing in additional political organizers and supporters aligned with Kirati’s faction.
Background of Kirati’s Departure From Previous Political Alliance
Before launching his separate political path, Kirati had been associated with the Maoist Centre.
However, after several political groups came together to form the Nepal Communist Party, he reportedly expressed dissatisfaction with internal developments. He later distanced himself from the party alongside Janardan Sharma.
The latest political move marks another significant shift in Kirati’s political journey as he prepares to enter a new leadership role within the Shram Sanskriti Party.
Formal Integration Event Planned in Kathmandu
The Shram Sanskriti Party has organized a formal event in Kathmandu to officially announce the integration of Kirati and his supporters into the party structure.
Leaders say the event will symbolize the beginning of a broader political partnership aimed at expanding the party’s national presence and strengthening its organizational network.
With Kirati joining as senior leader and his faction expected to secure key positions, the merger is likely to influence the party’s future strategy and internal balance in the months ahead.
