Nepal Political Turmoil: Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli Expelled From Ruling Party

The rival faction of the ruling Nepal Communist Party (NCP) on January 24 removed Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli from the party, amid increasing political unrest following his decision to dissolve the lower house of the Parliament. As per the rival faction's spokesperson Narayan Kaji Shrestha, Nepal PM Oli no longer remains a member of the party. The moves come after the splinter group under the leadership of former Prime Ministers Pushpa Kamal Dahal & Madhav Kumar Nepal had asked Oli for a reply as to why he shouldn't be removed from the party for making unconstitutional decisions. The faction had handed over a letter to the Nepal Prime Minister's residence over a decision to seek clarification. However, Oli did not respond to the letter. Watch the video to know more.
