Yashwant Pun

politician

Yashwant Pun, a prominent figure in Nepali politics, served as the Vice President of Nepal and has been a key leader in the Maoist movement. He was a deputy commander during the decade-long Maoist insurgency and has recently been appointed as the vice president of the Maoist party. His return to active politics comes after a hiatus following his vice presidency, and he has become a significant ally of Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal, participating in various political campaigns. Pun's involvement is seen as crucial in consolidating the Maoist party's leadership dynamics amidst internal rivalries, particularly with leaders like Yagya Bahadur Thapa and Janardhan Sharma vying for influence within the party.
