Senior Vice Chair of the Rastriya Mukti Party and renowned cultural activist Suman Sayami has formally joined the NCP along with his group. The unification was announced during a program held at Rastriya Sabha Griha on Wednesday.

The agreement was signed by NCP Co-conveners Pushpa Kamal Dahal and Madhav Nepal, along with Sayami on behalf of the Rastriya Mukti Party. According to the joint statement, the unity was driven by the need for political consolidation to address issues related to victims of structural injustice, cooperative fraud, and other marginalized communities.
