Year-Long Power Struggle May Prove Fatal for Old Parties

A year-long struggle for power may prove fatal for traditional parties in Nepal, as the country’s political landscape continues to shift.

Until the recent Jangi Adda movement, the ruling coalition in the center consisted of the Nepali Congress and the CPN-UML. The same alliance held power in the provinces.

Although the Jangi Adda movement led to the downfall of the coalition government in the federal government, the same alliance continues to hold power in the provinces.

This ongoing power struggle has raised concerns about the future of traditional parties in Nepal.
