Scientific Socialist Communist Party, Nepal

The Scientific Socialist Communist Party, Nepal (Nepali: वैज्ञानिक समाजवादी कम्युनिष्ट पार्टी, नेपाल, abbreviated वैसकपा, नेपाल) is a political party in Nepal. The party was founded on 5 May 2018, the 200th birth centenary of Karl Marx.[1] The party founder Aahuti had previously been a leader of Janamorcha Nepal and later the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist Centre), and had rebelled against the unity process of CPN(Maoist Centre) with the CPN(UML) in late 2017.[1] Ahuti formed a 51-member 'Ideological, Political and Organizational Mobilization Committee-2075' for building the new party.[2] Balaram Timilsina, Rajeshwari Subedi, Jagrat Rayamajhi and Dhruv Parajuli were some of the former Maoist leaders that joined Ahuti's party building effort.[2]
