The ruling Nepal Communist Party, which has come so close to an implosion on more than one occasion since it was formed in May 2018, seems to have learned to live with one fact–keep fighting but find a way to resolve the differences.

After sharp divisions surfaced over the past few days, factions led by party chairmen KP Sharma Oli and Pushpa Kamal Dahal are once again trying to mend fences. In a bid to achieve that, Oli and Dahal on Thursday held a meeting at Baluwatar. But nothing substantial came from the meeting except the message, at least for the party members and cadres, that negotiations will continue.

Thursday’s meeting between Oli and Dahal took place after a gap of five days. Earlier on October 31, when they met, it was after a gap of 11 days and during that time, the situation in the party had massively deteriorated—to the extent that both considered the option of splitting the party.
