The Communist Party of China (CPC) sent members to Nepal to try to unite the ruling CPN there and avoid a split in the CPN, but the two factions of the CPN remain infighting and the CPC’s United Party Department has worked in vain.
Nepal’s two most prominent left-wing parties, the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist-Leninist) and the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist), announced a formal merger in 2018 to form the Communist Party of Nepal (CPN), which is centered on Marxism-Leninism but does not include Mao Zedong Thought, and the two factions have been split for a long time for a long time. The CPN’s recent infighting, with Maoist leader Pushpa Kamal Dahal dissatisfied with CPN chairman K.P. Sharma Oli’s power grab, refused to rotate the prime ministership between the two leaders, and the CPN then attacked each other internally.
Guo Yezhou, deputy head of the CPC Central Committee’s Foreign Liaison Department, led a four-member team to Nepal earlier to meet with Prime Minister Oli and President Bidhya Devi Bhandari, and with anti-Oli Dahal and other CPP leaders.
The Hindustan Times reported that Guo Yezhou tried to get the ruling Oli faction to work with the opposition to Oli’s Dahal and other CPP majority to coordinate power-sharing between the two factions to prevent the CPP from splitting and losing power, but progress was limited, with Dahal, Madhav Kumar Nepal and Jhala Nath Khanal, three CPP leaders, still leading the attack on Oli, joining forces to instigate the anti-Oli rally.
The report quoted Nepalese political observers as saying that Guo Yezhou and others hope to make Dahal and other anti-Oli faction of the CPP, and the opposition parties such as the Nepali Congress to form a united front, in case Nepal’s Supreme Court rejected Oli’s resolution to dissolve the lower house of parliament, Dahal can still organize a coalition government led by the leftist CPP.
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has had a lot of influence in leftist Nepal in the past, and it can only intervene in Nepal’s internal affairs because of its ideological and resource support. But this time, the Maoist Dahal, gathered more than 90 members of parliament in the CPP party, the cabinet led by Prime Minister Oli, put forward a no-confidence motion to remove Oli party positions, Oli thus earlier held a cabinet meeting, passed a resolution to dissolve the lower house of parliament, and by President Bhandari announced that Nepal will be held between April 30 and May 10, 2021 general elections.
The anti-Oli faction and opposition parties filed a lawsuit in the Supreme Court, alleging that Oli’s dissolution of the lower house was unconstitutional and demanding that the parliament be restored and that a new government be formed based on a majority support. The report cited analysis that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to the CPP political crisis triggered by the uneven distribution of power, not the CCP can use the established methods to deal with, I believe to solve the CPP split crisis fruitless.
