More confusion in the ruling party as Dahal vacillates between Oli and Nepal

The Nepal faction, which so far has backed Dahal, is suspicious after reports that he has reached a deal with Oli keeping his allies in the dark.

A “ tentative deal ” between ruling Nepal Communist Party chairmen KP Sharma Oli and Pushpa Kamal Dahal to hold the party’s general convention by November/December has now given rise to a new dispute, with the faction led by senior leader Madhav Kumar Nepal taking exception to such a backdoor dealing.
