Nepal Communist Party unification prospects slim, leaders and analysts say Kathmandu Post
Kathmandu, Jan. 28 Two recent incidents have rekindled little hope for those who want to see the Nepal Communist Party remain intact.
A ray of hope emerged on Wednesday for the optimists when senior party leader Bamdev Gautam announced the national campaign to ensure that the Nepal Communist Party, which held 63 percent of the seats in the House of Representatives, remains united. Following the split in our party, the Chinese Communist Party is crying and so are communist parties all over the world, said Gautam while announcing his campaign to keep the party intact.

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.
