Oli, Nepal discuss internal NCP affairs

L-R: Madhav Kumar Nepal and KP Sharma Oli

Kathmandu, April 27

The chairman of the ruling Nepal Communist Party, Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli, and the party’s senior leader Madhav Kumar Nepal have discussed recently surfaced internal disputes in the party.

After the government issued two controversial ordinances without consulting other leaders in the party last week, the Nepal-led camp has expressed its dissatisfaction with the Oli leadership. Twenty members of the party’s standing committee, apparently backed by Nepal and the party’s executive chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal, have asked Oli to hold the standing committee meeting at the earliest.

As of now, Oli has lost the majority support in the committee and he apparently fears that the members want to remove him either from the party’s chairmanship or the premiership. Hence, he has expedited talks with the senior leaders of late.

Meanwhile, some leaders close to Oli are holding another meeting with the Nepal camp this afternoon, it has been learned. It is expected that the leaders will come up with a power-sharing deal between the two groups, settling the dispute for now.
