Polden Chopang Gurung is a Nepali politician, and a member of the House of Representatives of the Federal Parliament of Nepal. He was elected from Manang constituency as a candidate for the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist-Leninist) (CPN UML), defeating his closest rival, Tek Bahadur Gurung of Nepali Congress, by 2,300 votes to 2,021. He is an apple farmer by profession.[1] CPN UML's district chairperson for Manang, Gurung became the party's candidate after Dipak Manange, whom the party was supporting, withdrew his candidacy. Gurung won in the constituency with a previously very weak presence of CPN UML; the party's candidate had received 70 votes in the previous election.[2]
