The Nepal Communist Party (abbr. NCP) is the ruling political party in Nepal. It was founded on the 17th of May 2018, from the unification of two leftist parties, Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist–Leninist) and Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist Centre). The unification was completed by the Party Unification Coordination Committee, after 8 months of planning.[6] The two predecessor parties subsequently dissolved, making way for the new united party. The party retains the symbol of the former CPN-UML, the sun. [7][8]
