The Madhav Kumar Nepal-Jhalanath Khanal faction of the Communist Party of Nepal-Unified Marxist–Leninist (CPN-UML) held its Standing Committee meeting on June 5 and concluded that party Chair and Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli's acts against the constitution and democracy had brought it to a stage wherein the faction was being compelled to open a new political party, reports The Himalayan Times. CPN-UML Standing Committee member Yubaraj Gyawali, who is close to Nepal, said their faction leaders were of the view that if Oli was ready to apologize for dissolution of the House of Representatives (HoR) and revive party committees and structures that existed before the CPN-UML's merger with the CPN-Maoist Centre, then their faction was ready to patch up their differences with the Oli faction.
