Slowly but surely, a third force in the form of an alliance among political groups other than the Nepali Congress and the Leftist entities seems to be undergoing intense labour pains. Were the on-going move to develop as a working relationship for seat adjustments, the now-petty parties could upset many an apple cart that the kingdom’s two main parties that were at the forefront of the 1990 movement for the restoration of multiparty polity will overturn.
Both the Nepali Congress and the main opposition, Unified Marxist-Leninist, are each predicating an erosion of each other’s total seats in the next 205-member House of Representatives. If there were to be such erosion in either, if not both, the leading parties, where would these seats go to? Rastriya Prajatantra Party is cited as the most likely candidate.
People’s Review 8, September 1994.
