Nepal Communist Party legal dispute may invite more political chaos Kathmandu Post
Kathmandu, Jan. 27 The Nepal Communist Party may have split in two, politically, but going by the Election Commission s Sunday decision-or indecision for that matter, the party is still one-technically and legally.
The commission on Sunday said that since both factions-one led by Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli and the other by Pushpa Kamal Dahal and Madhav Kumar Nepal-failed to follow the party statute and the provisions of the Political Parties Act-2017, it only recognises the Nepal Communist Party which was formed in May 2018 with Oli and Dahal as its two chairmen.

Amid political uncertainty, Dahal-Nepal faction seems to be completely lost Kathmandu Post
Kathmandu, Jan. 19 Ever since Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli dissolved the House of Representatives on December 20, he appears to be confident that elections will take place on the dates he has declared-April 30 and May 10. He has been making statements to that effect at every opportunity, disregarding the fact that his House dissolution move is being heard by the Supreme Court.
As an impact of his House dissolution decision, the Nepal Communist Party has split in two-one led by him and the other by Puspha Kamal Dahal and Madhav Kumar Nepal.
Deuba eyes leading government as Oli hints at an understanding Kathmandu Post
Kathmandu, Jan. 3 The Nepali Congress seems to be a confused party. While it did hold demonstrations in all 165 constituencies across the country on December 28 in protest of KP Sharma Oli government s move of dissolving the House of Representatives, the party president, Sher Bahadur Deuba, appears to have reached an understanding with Oli.
On December 29, while receiving a memorandum from All Nepal Women s Union, a sister organisation affiliated to the Nepal Communist Party, Oli declared that there is zero possibility of restoring the House. While justifying his House dissolution move, Oli urged the women leaders to prepare for the elections declared for April 30 and May 10-a year and a half earlier than schedule.
