With a Cabinet rejig, Oli sows seeds of conflict in the ruling party

The prime minister, who is also the party chair, ignored calls not to reassign ministers and imposed his unilateral decision, once again, insiders say.

Despite promises that a reshuffle in the Oli administration will be “based on merit, system and performance”, the prime minister on Wednesday effected a minor rejig in his Cabinet which smacked of internal political maneuverings.
