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.
