Co-chairpersons of the ruling Nepal Communist Party (NCP) Pushpa Kamal Dahal and KP Sharma Oli resumed dialogue on August 2, after almost a week in an attempt to end the stalemate between rival factions in the party, reports The Himalayan Times. Dahal went to hold talks with Oli along with senior party leader Jhalanath Khanal. Deputy Parliamentary Party leader of the NCP, Subas Chandra Nembang, who is close to Oli, was also present in the meeting. The NCP faction led by Dahal and senior leader Madhav Kumar Nepal has asked the Prime Minister to quit either as Prime Minister or party co-chair. However, Oli has refused to quit any of the two posts.
