NCP on verge of split: Oli, Prachanda-Nepal holding separate meetings

KATHMANDU: The ruling Nepal Communist Party (NCP) is on the verge of split after the party took a disciplinary action against chairman KP Sharma Oli by stripping him of his membership of the party.

The formal process of the party split began after Chairman Oli, who is also the Prime Minister of Nepal, dissolved the parliament two days after he agreed to resolve the party dispute by withdrawing the Constitutional Council Ordinance.
