Balendra Shah’s Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP), with its overwhelming victory, has effectively dismantled the traditional political system long dominated by the Nepali Congress on the one hand and the fractious Communist bloc of the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist–Leninist) and its rival, the Nepali Communist Party.
The ruling Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist Leninist) has called on Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal to step down to clear the way for the formation of a "national consensus government".
Nepal's newly appointed Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal aka Prachanda is set to test the floor of parliament on Tuesday amid the uncertainty whether the parties on board will vote for him or not.
The Nepali Congress, the Rastriya Prajatantra Party and the CPN (Maoist Centre) are at different stages of their conventions, and are equally eager to organise huge gatherings to show their strength as the next general elections are not too far away. It is as if the coronavirus were a thing of the past. It is as if the second wave of the pandemic never caught us off guard towards the end of April, leaving over 6,000 people dead and hundreds of thousands more infected.
