Nepal's Energy Minister Kulman Ghising to Launch New Party
Nepal's energy minister, Kulman Ghising, is starting a new political party.

The party might be called the 'Nepal Jansewa Party' and use an electric light bulb as its symbol, reminding people of how he helped fix Nepal's electricity problems.
Some young groups and activists are talking with him about joining.
This is happening as many new political parties are being created in Nepal.
