New parties confront old problems
Summary
New political parties in Nepal, including the RSP and UNP, face challenges of internal disagreements and unfulfilled promises despite unity agreements ahead of the March elections.
Key Points
- Closed-door political meetings among old parties no longer inspire public trust due to lack of transparency and short-lived agreements.
- New political parties like Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) and Ujyalo Nepal Party (UNP) have struggled to avoid old political mistakes and face internal disputes.
- Disagreements between RSP and UNP include dissatisfaction over roles and proportional representation candidate lists for upcoming elections.
- Despite tensions and allegations of backtracking, leadership from involved parties insist the unification agreements remain intact and that the alliance will continue.
