Former premier and founder chairman of Rastriya Prajatantra Party, Surya Bahadur Thapa, is to announce a new political party on Sunday.
Named as ‘Rastriya Jana Shakti Party” (National People’s Power Party), the party will have its headquarters at Baluwatar. The party will be launched amid a function on Sunday, party sources said.
Earlier, Thapa had called for a ‘Broad Democratic National Conference’ to give rise to what he said a new democratic force in the country. The conference was, however, postponed in the last minute due to the state of emergency.
