While politics in the India’s neighbourhood Nepal is showing unrest the rival faction of the ruling Nepal Communist Party (NCP), led by Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’, removed Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli from the party. This comes following Oli’s decision to dissolve the lower house of the parliament.
Narayankaji Shrestha, rival faction’s spokesperson, said Nepal PM Oli no longer remains a member of the party. Central Committee meeting decided to remove KP Sharma Oli from the party. He no longer holds even a simple membership of the Nepal Communist Party.
Oli had been asked ‘why should not he be removed from party’ for making unconstitutional decisions, by rival group under the leadership of former Nepal PM Pushpa Kamal Dahal and Madhav Kumar Nepal.
The faction had handed over a letter to the Nepal Prime Minister’s residence over a decision to seek clarification. Oli did not respond to the letter. “We waited for long. He didn’t reply to us,” Shrestha made his point.
Amid the increasing internal rift in the party, the now-caretaker Prime Minister Oli had decided to dissolve the Parliament on December 2, 2020, calling for fresh elections for April and May this year. This step was approved by President Bidya Devi Bhandari.

Soon after the announcement, the NCP split into two factions with each claiming its own to be the authentic. Now, it depends on the Election Commission who is studying the documents and laws to come to a conclusion on which faction will retain the election emblem of the “sun”. Fresh developments in Nepal are likely to take place once the election commission pronounces its decision.
