Be patriotic leaders

 Be patriotic leaders

It will not be surprising to see another coalition government in near future based on the interest of foreign powers. That is how the Nepali politics works and has been going on in the same trend for decades. The people have been experiencing most unproductive politics during the last 15 years. Many unconstitutional moves were taken in the name of the peoples’ movement and 12 points agreement that was taken place in foreign land in between the then seven party alliance and Maoist. 

 

The factional politics and the politics for power has been the crux of the national political mess. Having said all this, why doesn’t the NC, who claims to be the champion of safe-guarding democracy, convince other parties to go for the mid-term or early polls either under its leadership or supporting the Oli led government for seeking fresh mandate of the people? If the NC takes such bold and decisive actions, it is for sure the people will appreciate its role and might give it a landslide victory. But, holding simply mid-term or early election, without considering the growing dissatisfaction of the people in the existing constitution and political structure, might invite more political uncertainty and unstable government.     

Considering this situation, a favourable option for the like-minded senior leaders of major political parties would be to take a conciliatory politics by taking bold steps of either amending the current constitution or reviving and amending the 2047 constitution to accommodate issues and concerns of all the political parties, nationalists, pro-royalists, disgruntled groups and the general public. Otherwise, sooner or later, the country might plunge into uncontrollable horrible political mess inviting foreign powers and local foreign agents to meddle in the national politics thus making the nation vulnerable to lose its national identity.

The Fragile Majority of Balen Shah’s Government

Whether the Balendra "Balen" Shah -led government will complete its full five-year term seems mathematically and politically viable but remains uncertain. His Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) holds a strong majority with 182 out of 275 seats in the House of Representatives (HOR). This gives his government a strong political holding and leads the country with a comfortable majority to fulfil its objectives and mission. However, the smooth administration and timely and successful implementation of development activities as desired by his government depends totally on the traditional bureaucratic system which could threaten its stability and political uncertainty. Key Factors Threatening Longevity Internal Party Dissent: It recently completed 100 days its term, several ruling party lawmakers began publicly criticizing Prime Minister Shah's rigid leadership style and the government's policy execution. Institutional Resistance: The administration's sweeping 100-...

Strong government weak opposition

In the general elections held on March 5, 2026 the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) won overwhelmingly 182 seats in the 275-member House of Representatives (HOR). Accordingly, a new majority government was formed under the leadership of RSP senior leader Balendra (Balen) Shah , without the support of any political party.    The RSP enjoys a comfortable majority government, whereas the oppositions are in weak positions in the national political history. The Nepali Congress (NC) has been reduced to a mere 38 seats. The CPN-UML holds 25, the Nepali Communist Party (NCP) 17, the Shram Sanskriti Party (SSP) 7, and the Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP) just 5. No other party managed to get even 10 percent of the total seats other than the NC. When the opposition is significantly weaker than a strong ruling party, the foundational checks and balances of a democratic system might be significantly weakened or break down. This has raised a fundamental question for the democratic republic ...
