Nepal’s democracy, political parties and internal politics

Politics is said to lead the overall administration of the country. Abiding by the mandatory provisions at the Election Commission that the political parties should organize convention every five years, major political parties including the ruling Nepali Congress (NC), main opposition CPN-UML, Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP), and CPN-Maoist Center held their respective general conventions to elect their leadership.

However, their discussion in the convention and selection of the leadership reveals that democracy is still an uphill task for the political parties in Nepal.
