The messages is, had there been just one Madhesi party, that party would have been right behind or ahead of the Maoists. That unified Madhesi party would have gotten something in the range of 100 seats. There was no massive anti-Madhesi wave. What was true instead was that the Madhesi parties were so massively fragmented. As one party, the Madhesis would have done as well as last time if not better.

Political arithmetic shows the Maoists could come into power at least six different ways. In several such scenarios the Maoists could even be leading the government. Nepal has a tendency to get a new government every year. If this parliament is to last four years and the government changes every year, the Maoists could be in power for two of the four years. That is a distinct possibility.

Prachanda Has Room To Play

Pushpa Kamal Dahal “Prachanda” at the Asia Society (Photo credit: Asia Society)

We have ended up at a scenario where the Maoist party could team up with either the NC or the UML and come into power. That gives us a lot of playing room for someone like Prachanda. You might disagree with his ideology and his worldview, but there is no denying Prachanda is a politically gifted individual. The next two weeks are going to be interesting to watch.

A NC-UML government is not a foregone conclusion.

The prime ministership to the NC, the presidency to the UML, the DPM position to the Maoists, the vice presidency to someone like Mahantha Thakur might be one fair scenario.

Despite a decisive verdict, the situation stays very much fluid. The parties should be creative about power, they also should be creative about federalism.

November Polls: Who Will Win?

English: Top leaders of Nepali Congress –spokesperson Arjun Narsingh KC, vice presidents Prakash Man Singh and Ram Chandra Paudel and acting president Sushil Koirala—during the Central Working Committee meeting held at its central office in Sanepa, Lalitpur on Wednesday, September 15, 2010. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Jhalanath Khanal said during his New York trip that his party seemed to be leading in 100 of the 240 constituencies in Nepal. Sushil Koirala has claimed his party will win a two thirds majority on its own. Prachanda thinks his party will win an outright majority. The numbers don't add up. All three of them can not be right. Especially when all three have undergone vertical splits. And so all three are poised to do less well than they did in 2008.

The Terai is likely to end up with two provinces, a Madhesh in the East and a Tharuhat in the west with Chitwan in between going to one of the hill states. But the Nepali Congress is not for that. And it is no longer the in power by default party. So I see it doing less well this year than it did in 2008.

Makes me think the Madhesi parties might do better than is being predicted. Although a very, very hung parliament is a foregone conclusion.

Rajendra Mahto to me looks like is in a pretty good position. The leading Madhesi parties all are in a good position.

The Only Alliance The Madhesi Parties Need

English: politician of nepal (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

The only alliance the Madhesi parties really need is with each other. The Madhesi parties have to go to the people with the confidence that they will go into power no matter who forms the government at the center. Despite the Madhesi movement the Madhesi parties only got one third of the seats and votes in the Terai the last time around. It was because there was no hope they might go into power. Now the Madhesi people have seen that the Madhesi parties are the party of power. That opens doors. Should a Madhesi alliance be formed with the bottomline that there will be only one common candidate in each constituency the Madhesi parties might be able to cross the 50% mark in both votes and seats in the Terai. That will be a major victory. I think they stand to further weaken the Congress in the Terai and they will eat into the Maoist votes. The Maoists will eat into the UML votes and will still emerge strong in the Terai, and that is a good thing. The Madhesis and the Maoists are both federal forces.

There has been some talk of an alliance with the Nepali Congress. Unless the NC makes a clear ideological move and comes forth for a two state map for the Terai, I don't see how any alliance is possible, either pre-poll or post-poll. The NC's anti-federal stance is the reason the last Constituent Assembly died without completing its task.
