KATHMANDU: The one-on-one meeting supposed to be held between ruling Nepal Communist Party (NCP) chairmen KP Sharma Oli and Pushpa Kamal Dahal today has been uncertain.

The meeting between Oli and Daha who sat for three times until Wednesday has no signs in sight until 12 pm today.

The next meeting has become uncertain after the three one-on-one consecutive meetings between the two heavyweights did not strike any chords.

Talking to Khabarhub, Surya Thapa, the Press Advisor to the Prime Minister, said the meeting between the two chairpersons was not certain. “The time has not yet been fixed for the meeting between the two chairpersons. The meeting may not take place, too,” said Thapa.

A leader close to Dahal also denied the possibility for the meeting between the two chairs today.

“Chairman Dahal is preparing to hold meeting with Oli only after internal meetings since three consecutive meetings did not bear any fruits. The meeting is not likely to take place today,” he said.

The intra-party feud has deepened further after Dahal-Nepal camp has been demanding resignation of Oli from both of his posts.

The ‘one-on-one’ meeting between Nepal Communist Party (NCP) Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal and Prime Minister KP Oli on Wedneday ended inconclusively.

The two-hour-long meeting held at the Prime Minister’s official residence in Baluwatar could not make any headway as both the leaders stuck to their respective stance with no signs of budging.

Sources said that Prime Minister Oli is still adamant to his stance of not resigning from both the posts of party Chairman and Prime Minister.

Chairman Dahal had earlier insisted ‘one-on-one’ talks to thrash out the disputes between the two leaders.

Senior leader Nepal and his aides are disappointed as they have not been involved in the talks. It is learned that NCP Spokesperson Narayan Kaji Shrestha, too, is dissatisfied with the ‘one-on-one’ dialogue between the NCP top guns.

Dahal and Oli are still at loggerheads over some serious issues, particularly after PM Oli alleged the dissident faction of dancing to the tunes of India to oust him.

The party leadership is currently under pressure to keep the party intact since around 53 central committee members of the party has already initiated a signature campaign to convene the party’s central committee meeting.

They have argued that the meeting of the 441-member central committee will be more impactful than the 45-member Standing Committee.

According to the NCP statute, the leadership will have to call the meeting of the central committee if 25 percent, i.e., 110 members signed the document.
