WHO WILL BE THE NEW PRESIDENT?

Who will be the president of Nepal? No any political party leaders in Nepal can say exactly. Neither Prachand nor other party leaders are sure about the new president.

Madhav Kumar Nepal, Sahana Pradhan, Subhash Nemwang, Padma Ratna Tuladhar and Devendra Raj Pandey are some of the names mentioned as the probable candidates for the post, however, political pundits do not think so to happen. Nothing will happen if there is no consensus among the major political parties.

Some political analysts believe the president will be the Indian choice. That may be true, but it is clear that that is not the solution of the present day crisis of the country. That will create serious problem as there will be political polarisation in the country and the new constitution will not be promulgated in time.

Maoists' stubborn nature and Congress party's firm determination in their stand about the integration of the Maoists combatant is the main hurdle before the formation of the government. Other parties including the CPN,UML seem to be flexible to give a way out to the present political deadlock.

Maoists are moving ahead with a clear strategy, said Surya Bahadur Thapa. But that strategy is not for the welfare of the country and people but to establish an authoritarian regime, he alleged. Many people support his views - if not all political parties.

The present political bickering is good news for Gyanendra and the regressive elements that are said to be gathering to make new strategies to plunge the country into the mire of instability though there is no immediate possibility of comeback of monarchy at least for Gyanendra and his son Paras.

Writing new democratic constitution acceptable for all, integrating of Maoists combatant, return of seized property, consolidating democracy and forwarding the pace of development are the major challenges at present.
Whatever the parties are doing is not acceptable to the people. Neither the Maoists nor the other parties are right.

The political situation of Nepal seems to be completely uncertain even after the abolition of monarchy, which was considered to be the centre of conspiracy plot in Nepal.
The southern neighbour has come in the scene openly dictating the Nepali leaders, who are lust for power and do not like the existence of opponents, even at this time of critical phase of Nepal's history.

The stubborn nature of Maoists not to accept president from the Nepali Congress and firm stand of the Congress for the post of president seem to be the immediate problem of government formation, however, the reality is completely different.
Who do you think is the suitable candidate for the post of first president of Nepal?
