Deuba’s moment to shine

The debate on who should lead the next government has become a matter of public interest.

The recently concluded federal parliament and provincial assembly elections indicate a paradigm shift in Nepali politics. Not so long ago, Nepal’s political landscape was predominantly left but now, with the emergence of alternative democratic forces such as Rastriya Swotantra Party (RSP), Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP) and independents, the left’s stranglehold in Nepali politics has eroded significantly, and the gravity of politics is now more right of the centre.
