Nepal: Oli and Dahal are formidable team

Nepal: Oli and Dahal are formidable team

Kathmandu, Feb 23 (UNI) In Nepal, the unification process between the CPN-UML and the CPN (Maoist Centre) is one of the most significant events in Nepal’s recent political history, and certainly the most significant one since the peace process started in 2006, according to a news analysis published in The Kathmandu Post on Friday.
According to the analysis by Akhilesh Upadhyay, the unification will firmly put the left alliance in the driving seat in Nepal’s politics at least for the next five years, and perhaps well beyond. And the two major proponents of the unification process—UML leader KP Oli and Maoist supremo Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’—will be at the centre-stage of Nepal’s politics for that period and are set to leave behind strong footprints.
Starting with the first phase of local elections that took place last May, through the next two phases over the next few months, and finally the provincial and federal parliamentary elections in two phases late last year, the UML established its electoral dominance. The dominance was near-absolute in the provincial and federal polls after the two parties came together as the left alliance and shared tickets—on a 60: 40 ratio, with the larger of the two parties, UML, getting a greater share.
