Though Beijing has failed to facilitate a truce between the warring factions of the Nepal Communist Party, China would like Oli to remain in power
The dissolution of the Lower House of the Nepalese Parliament has caused looming political instability in the Himalayan nation. Prime Minister KP Oli continues to assert his position in the Nepal Communist Party as the “legitimate” chairperson after the Election Commission ruled in his favour and revoked his suspension by the Prachanda and Madhav Kumar Nepal-led faction last week. The onus now rests on the Supreme Court to decide on the legitimacy of the House’s dissolution and holding of fresh elections in March or April. Meanwhile, it is unlikely that the court will rule against Oli, considering his record with the court and the favours given in judicial appointments.

With their tactical plans, parties reluctant to join hands against Oli in upper house Kathmandu Post
Kathmandu, Jan. 8 When President Bidya Devi Bhandari called the winter session of the National Assembly on January 1, leaders from the Pushpa Kamal Dahal and Madhav Kumar Nepal-led faction of the Nepal Communist Party, the Nepali Congress and the Janata Samajbadi Party said they would join hands in the upper house to protest against the the dissolution of the House of Representatives.
The endorsement of a resolution motion in the 59-member Assembly calling the dissolution of the House unconstitutional would mean that the permanent parliament, as the upper house is also called, has accepted that the dissolution was unconstitutional.
