As Nepal elects a hung parliament after 28 yrs, the ghost of the past haunts stakeholders

According to Chitra Bahadur KC, the chairman of Rastriya Janamorcha, there are many similarities between the political situation in the country in 1991-1994 and now. Both times, the country was torn apart by internal strife within the ruling party.

The 1991-94 period was followed by the mid-term elections of 1994 that elected a hung parliament, giving birth to rounds of political instability in the country. Interestingly, the House of Representatives elections held on November 20 have once again elected a hung parliament, reminding stakeholders that what happened in 1994 could be repeated, says KC.
