Ruling NCP has come under immense crisis after Chair and Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli recommended for the House dissolution. Without waiting no time and without any consultation, President Bidya Devi Bhandari also approved the recommendation of the Prime Minister Oli.
The dissolution itself created a deep division among the major political parties and civil society, including Nepali press. The NCP has come under on the verge of split. One section of party leaders are on the street and they are staging regular protests across the country, while KP Oli led NCP has intensified for election.
While main opposition Nepali Congress has clarified that the decision of the Prime Minister itself is a big gamble against the constitution, peoples’ aspiration, undemocratic and autocratic. The party, however, made clear that it will participate in the election if the Supreme Court give verdict for election.
