Since the unified party has maintained the name Naya Shakti, newly formed party by ex-Maoist leader Bhattarai has now secured its presence in the Parliament. As lawmaker Chaudhary earlier had voted for electing Pushpa Kamal Dahal as Prime Minister, the Naya Shakti has turned into a party in ruling coalition until and unless Chaudhary withdraws the support.
