Naya Shakti Party, Nepal (Nepali: नयाँ शक्ति पार्टी, नेपाल, translation: New Force Party, Nepal) is a centre-left political party in Nepal formed by former Prime Minister Baburam Bhattarai.
It was officially registered in the Election Commission, Nepal on 10 July 2016. It opposes careerism, which it sees as pervasive in modern Nepali politics, and has stated "good governance" as one of its platform goals.
Baburam Bhattarai was a senior vice-chairman of the Unified Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) and was involved in the party for over two decades, including during the Nepalese Civil War.
He became the Prime Minister of Nepal while a member of the UCPN (Maoist). As Prime Minister he dissolved the 1st Nepalese Constituent Assembly to pave the way for new elections.
After the constitution of Nepal was promulgated on 25 September 2015 by the 2nd Nepalese Constituent Assembly he resigned from the newly formed Parliament of Nepal and quit his party to form his own political "force".
On January 21, 2016 he announced the formation of the Naya Shakti Nepal Interim Central Council, which he said would develop into a political party. Finally on June 12, 2016 he announced the establishment of Naya Shakti Party, Nepal under his leadership.
