KATHMANDU: With the success of the Gen-Z movement and the formation of a new government, a faction led by Sudhan Gurung has begun preparations to launch a political party that will contest Nepal’s parliamentary elections in six months.

The Gurung group says its goal is to unite participants of the Gen-Z uprising into a consolidated political force. Gurung has been named the central coordinator, while coordinators have also been appointed for all seven provinces: Uparjun Rai in Koshi, Shiv Yadav in Madhes, Kiran Acharya in Bagmati, Pradeep Pande in Gandaki, Aditya Acharya in Lumbini, Supriya Shahi in Karnali, and Khemraj Saud in Sudurpaschim.

These provincial coordinators have been tasked with appointing district leaders, organizing conventions at municipal and local levels, and moving quickly toward registering the party with the Election Commission.

The group insists that the government must recognize the September 8–9 uprising as a political revolution. It has pledged to push for sweeping reforms, including constitutional amendments, investigations into corruption cases dating back to 1990, nationalization of unexplained wealth, and an electoral system that combines direct presidential elections with full proportional representation.

The Gurung faction has also claimed that representatives from the Gen-Z movement will join the upcoming cabinet expansion.
