RESPECT PEOPLE’S VERDICT

Almost one month has passed since the completion of provincial and federal level elections. The left alliance comprising the UML and the CPN-Maoist Centre won majority seats in both the elections as compared to democratic forces led by the Nepali Congress. Both the UML and the MC fought the elections with their own election symbol claiming that they would unite and form a single communist party soon after the completion of elections. The people voted them accordingly thinking that there would be political stability in the country once these two communist parties merge into one strong political party.

The ongoing political dialogues between these two parties concerning unification have not resulted in any encouraging political results. Looking at the news reports, it seems that there has been problem for both the parties in securing places in the new party and places in the new government (“Maoist Centre for party chair if Oli made PM” January 3, Page 1). The coordination committee of the two parties is yet to meet, even after three weeks of the poll results being published. As Devendra Poudel has opined, his party wants full-fledged leadership of the unified force if the UML goes for the PM’s post and vice-versa. However, some members of the UML found to be advocating for joint-leadership.

On the other hand, there are reports that some NC leaders are trying to break the left alliance by luring the MC leadership with the promise of premiership in a new alliance (“Dahal has NC’s support in PM post:Lekhak” January 3, Page 3). Politics is a game of all possibilities.

Mid-term election and referendum simultaneously

  Mid-term election and referendum simultaneously The people are tired of politicians who make wonderful promises but have miserably failed to fulfill their rosy promises. As a result, they seem to be gradually losing their credibility by days. However, having said that, the level of political awareness among the majority number of the people is still low which has been the advantage for the politicians to lure them towards their irresponsible and dirty politics. In the recent past weeks, we saw thousands of innocent people out in the streets to cheer up the so-called senior leaders who have miserably failed to lead the nation. We can see now the senior leaders and their parties are busy in forming another coalition government following the Supreme Court’s decision to nullify the unification of NCP a few days ago thus splitting the CPN-UML and CPN-Maoist. It was, in fact, a huge legal blow to them. This situation has created another political chaos in the country which might in...
