Split feared in Unified Socialist as election for office bearers, politburo members creates rift

Some dissident leaders are said to have met CPN-UML chair and Prime Minister Oli and discussed an ordinance to facilitate party split.

Following the split of the Janata Samajbadi Party-Nepal led by Upendra Yadav on May 5, another fringe party is in the spotlight for similar reasons. According to party insiders, a group of dissidents has intensified activities with a plan to split the Madhav Kumar Nepal-led CPN (Unified Socialist), and to return to the mother party–CPN-UML.
