Nepal Communist Party (Unified) Unveils “No-Bribery Politics” Manifesto

The election manifesto of the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified) has been made public.

The party, led by Ghanshyam Bhusal, unveiled its manifesto at a press conference in Kathmandu on Tuesday.

The manifesto states that the fight against corruption must be turned into a national campaign. Emphasizing that corruption-free politics is the first condition for building an enterprising nation, the party has pledged to establish a “bribe-free party.”

The document reads: “Without leadership that can stand on international platforms free from allegations of corruption, we cannot question others. Therefore, the first condition for building an enterprising nation is corruption-free politics. The fight against corruption must be transformed into a national struggle. In common language and symbolically, we call this ‘bribe-free politics, a bribe-free party.’”

The party also stated that the traditional major forces currently dominant in the electoral arena have already proven their incompetence, while the so-called new parties are indifferent to the nation’s real problems. The CPN (Unified) claimed it is committed to fulfilling the demands of the present time.

According to the manifesto, Nepal’s politics is heading toward darkness and crisis, as older large parties have lost internal democracy and served middlemen interests, while newer parties lack clear ideology and principles. The party expressed its commitment to guaranteeing internal democracy and fighting crony capitalism, presenting itself as a new revolutionary force capable of addressing national political frustration.

The manifesto further notes that failure by political leaders and parties to recognize changing global realities has become a major obstacle to prosperity. It states that foreign aid will neither be freely given nor come without conditions, adding: “From now on, we must be able to say that we will not accept foreign assistance except on our own needs and terms.”
