As the political crisis after the dissolution of the parliament in Nepal deepens, the caretaker Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli was removed from ruling Nepal Communist Party by a Central Committee Meeting of the splinter group of the party on Sunday. His membership has been revoked, a spokesperson for the splinter group, Narayan Kaji Shrestha, told news agency ANI.
Oli, who is also the chairperson of a faction of the NCP, said he was forced to dissolve the House after knowing that the Prachanda-led faction was planning to file a no-confidence motion against him and introduce an impeachment motion against President Bhandari.
