The political system in Nepal till 2006 was
Answers
Answer:
The politics of Nepal functions within the framework of a parliamentary republic with a multi-party system.[1] Executive power is exercised by the Prime Minister and his/her cabinet, while legislative power is vested in the Parliament.
It has four political parties recognised in the federal parliament: Nepal Communist Party (NCP), Nepali Congress (NC),[1] Samajbadi Party Nepal (SPN) and Rastriya Janata Party Nepal (RJPN).[1] While all major parties officially espouse democratic socialism, NCP is considered leftist while Nepali Congress is considered centrist, with most considering it center-left and some center-right.[2] The minor party SPN is leftist and RJPN is center-right to right-wing.[3] During most of the brief periods of democratic exercise in the 1950s as well as the 1990s, Nepali Congress held a majority in parliament.[4] Following the entry of the Maoists into the political process, they were the largest party in the first constituent assembly and Nepali Congress was the largest in the second, with no party winning a majority.[5] In the aftermath of the 2017 elections, the first one according to the new constitution, NCP has become the ruling party at the federal level as well as six out of seven provinces.[6] While Nepali Congress has a significantly reduced representation, it is the only major opposition to the ruling communist party in all levels of government.[7]
The Economist Intelligence Unit rated Nepal a "hybrid regime" in 2019,[8]while the polity data series considers it to be a democracy.[9]
Answer:
In 2006, the constitution which was made in 1991, was scrapped.
Explanation:
Prachanda was the leader of the Maoist insurgency for a decade (1996-2006) before entering mainstream politics. Oli was a harsh critic of the politics of violence, which resulted in over 17,000 deaths.
However, Oli approached the Maoists in 2017 about merging their parties, preempting the prospect of a coalition between the Maoists and the Nepali Congress, which could have thwarted Oli's prime ministerial ambitions.
Prachanda reflected the Nepal Communist Party, while Oli led the Communist Party of Nepal-Unified Marxist Leninist (Maoist).
After the merger, the two presidents agreed to take turns leading the government, a pledge that Oli broke at the end of his two-and-a-half-year tenure, sowing the seeds of separation.
