A day after five members of the ruling Nepal Communist Party (NCP) Secretariat upped the ante against Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli by making a formal demand for calling party Secretariat meeting, the PM called senior leader Madhav Kumar Nepal at his residence in Baluwatar to discuss political crisis in the party.

Co-chair of the NCP Pushpa Kamal Dahal had recently told party leaders that the PM, who has fallen into minority in the NCP Secretariat, Standing Committee and Central Committee, was not ready to call party bodies’ meetings and would rather split the party ‘on friendly terms’.

Surendra Prasad Pandey, who accompanied Nepal in the meeting with the PM today, told THT that the PM sought Nepal’s support to resolve the crisis in the party, but Nepal told Oli that he should come up with a concrete plan. Nepal also asked the PM to call the Secretariat meeting soon.
