KATHMANDU, Dec 21, 2020 (BSS/AFP) – Nepal will likely head to the polls next year after parliament was abruptly dissolved on Sunday, a move prompted by infighting between the Himalayan nation’s premier and members of his party, including former Maoist rebels.
Prime Minister K.P. Sharma Oli’s government has weathered accusations of corruption and criticism for its handling of the coronavirus pandemic. But his decision to request a new poll comes after months of clashes with Pushpa Kamal Dahal, a former insurgent leader who helped Oli come to power when their political parties merged in 2018.
