Following the dissolution of the Constituent Assembly and the announcement of the date for new elections, Nepal’s political instability is likely to prolong and intensify further. Political parties are divided over who will lead the national elections government. Given the present political stalemate, it is very unlikely for new elections to be held. The Election Commission has already made it clear that there is the need to amend certain laws and bring new laws to hold the elections. A group of Nepali Congress lawmakers are even demanding the revival of the dissolved Constituent Assembly, like the revived House of Representatives.
