Vidyadevi Bhandari

Vidyadevi Bhandari is a prominent Nepali politician and the wife of the late Madhav Kumar Bhandari, the former General Secretary of the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist-Leninist). She recently made headlines by announcing her candidacy in the upcoming by-election for the Kathmandu-1 constituency, following her husband's untimely death in a tragic accident that many suspect was part of a conspiracy. Her candidacy is seen as a significant challenge for other candidates, as she is expected to garner sympathy votes due to the circumstances surrounding her husband's death.
