Nepal's major political parties have expressed sadness over the split of the oldest and largest party, the Nepali Congress, saying it will have a negative impact on the country's national politics.

The struggle between the old and new generations has focused the attention of the leaders of the major political parties after the split of the Congress.

The leaders have suggested that the Election Commission and other relevant bodies should find a solution so that the official dispute after the split of the Congress does not affect the schedule of the upcoming elections.

Nepali Communist Party Co-Convenor and former Prime Minister Madhav Kumar Nepal said that the split of the Congress is unfortunate. He said that this situation has arisen because the dispute within the party could not be resolved internally. He said that this split should be considered in a way that does not affect the upcoming elections.

‘Party division is not good, but the election process for representatives should proceed according to the schedule set,’ he said. He said that the Congress, which has played a big role in history, should resolve the problem and move forward.

‘The split of the Congress is actually unfortunate. The party is not in favor of splitting. If there is one opinion, there should be agreement on the rest. We should consider the demands of the time. The minds of the workers should be taken into consideration. The issue should have been resolved through dialogue and dialogue,' he said, 'Congress leaders have played an important role in many junctures of history. The Congress, which has played a major role in history since 2007, must still face challenges and move forward.' He also said that this division would cause great damage to the Congress.

UML Vice-Chairman Gokarna Bista said that the division of the Congress would once again contribute to political instability. 'It would have been appropriate to strengthen the internal democracy of the party within its limits,' he said, 'This division affects the country's politics. It makes the elections uncomfortable. Party division is not a pleasant thing for democracy.'

He said that there is a risk that the division of the Congress could even affect the election program. ‘This risks affecting the election program,’ he said, ‘Party division cannot be considered good in a democracy.’

National Independent Party leader Shishir Khanal said that the division of the long-standing Congress will change the institutional development of democracy and the immediate election results in the long term. He said that the division of a democratic party with a long history is unfortunate.

‘Democracy is stronger if the competing parties are strong,’ he said, ‘Since the division of the Congress will change the results of the upcoming elections, it will damage the institutionalization of democracy.’ He said that the Congress dispute should be resolved quickly by reaching the Election Commission.

‘The job of the Election Commission is to hold elections and resolve party disputes,’ he said, ‘The Election Commission should give a quick decision on this.’ If both parties go to the commission, they should work day and night to resolve the issue as soon as possible.'
