Cease fire in the ruling party

Cease fire in the ruling party

It seems to me that the tug of war, which was going on for some time, between the two chairpersons and other senior leaders of the Nepal Communist Party (NCP) seems to have been settled for the time being. The whole drama that was going on was nothing but to fulfill their vestigial interests. It was very unfortunate to see them playing factional politics simply for the sake of power sharing when the country and the people have been badly suffered from Coved 19.

The end of this drama was temporarily possible after the six member team made a recommendation that PM Oli would lead the government for the full five-year term and Dahal would lead the party with an expanded role as “executive chairman”. They both got their shares. However, the concerns of other senior leaders are yet to be addressed which might be another cause for next political drama to stage after the festive seasons will be over.

In fact, the ruling party has made democracy and election a mockery by appointing two election losers into the upper house. This wrongdoing was widely criticised by the constitutional experts and general public. It was nothing but to please one another opportunist leaders. PM Oli seems to be losing his grip over the party and will be compelled to bring these two losers into his supposed to be reshuffled cabinet in near future.

What next?

Ruling party fight was for power-sharing and it has become apparent, experts and analysts say

Days after a semblance of peace returning to the Nepal Communist Party, the party held its Secretariat meeting on Sunday to “discuss a Cabinet reshuffle”.

Insiders and analysts say the discussions on Cabinet reshuffle were expected to begin any time, as the months-long conflict was largely guided by the factions’ interests rather than “system and procedures”, even though they claimed it to be so.

Along with a Cabinet reshuffle, negotiations are soon likely to start also for some key positions—at constitutional bodies and Nepal’s foreign missions.

“The [Pushpa Kamal] Dahal faction tried hard to establish that the fight was for ensuring a party system but actually it was all about power sharing and this is not hidden to anyone now,” said Mani Thapa, a Standing Committee member. “Everyone knows now that it was much ado about nothing.”
