This is strictly talking in terms of personal qualities. Baburam is the obvious democratic choice as a duly elected PM and the choice of the largest party in the last elected assembly in the country, and the face of the largest political alliance in the country today. But that is not what I am talking about here. Sometimes what happens is a super qualified person does not get the top job because that person might be in some small party, as in the case with Nitish Kumar in India. The guy is the most qualified to be the next PM of India, but his party is rather small.
Based on personal qualities Baburam is 10 times, at least 10 times, more qualified than Sushil to be PM. Even Girija was better than Sushil. And Girija never struck me as the smartest kid on the block.
Baburam is more qualified than Prachanda to be PM. He is more qualified than Mahantha Thakur. Although Mahantha Thakur is more qualified than Sushil. If the NC were not an anti Madhesi party, Mahanthan Thakur not Sushil would be party president of the NC today.
On that note Baburam is also 10 times more qualified than Bijay Gachhadar.
I don't understand why the NC is pushing the Sushil Koirala name. The guy is not more qualified than Baburam for the job. I have been watching him run his party. He has not been doing a good job. If he were to be made PM right away I think he is sure to bungle the elections that are supposed to happen in April 2013.

there is no question of taking part in an election decided without taking us into confidence. We won’t accept any agreement limited to three or four parties. .... by and large, we have been left out of current negotiations. ...... One, UCPN (Maoist) has been saying that there is no need for ‘new people’s revolution’ in the changed context, while we are firmly in favor of it. Two, we will emphasize the issue of national sovereignty in our general convention, while the other party is unlikely to give this issue much importance. Besides these, the other party has decided to move ahead with the agenda of ‘federal democratic republic’ while we will continue to empathize ‘people’s federal republic’. On the political front, we believe UCPN (Maoist) made grave mistakes and contributed to CA’s failure, while they are not ready to admit to any such mistake. These might be some points of differences. ...... The rationale for the split in the Maoist party is amply clear in party documents and in the behavior of UCPN (Maoist) leaders. So far as the issue of unity is concerned, there is no such possibility at the moment.देवी खड्का,गगन थापा र योगेश भट्टराईसंग-16.12.12

राजेन्द्र महतोले प्याकेजमा सहमतिबिना समस्या हल नहुने बताए । 'बाबुरामजीलाई अछूत मान्ने अनि त्यही बाबुरामजीले कांग्रेसलाई माला लगाइदिनुपर्ने ? केही समय कांग्रेस, एमाले यही सरकारमा आएर निषेधको राजनीति त्याग्नुपर्छ । त्यससँगै निर्वाचनसम्बन्धी सबै विषयमा सहमति हुन्छ,' उनले भने, 'संघीय लोकतान्त्रिक गणतन्त्रात्मक संविधान लेखिने ग्यारेन्टीसहित नयाँ निर्वाचनमा जानुपर्छ भन्नेमा मोर्चा एकजुट छ ।' प्रधानमन्त्री भट्टराईले निर्वाचनसम्बन्धी ऐन, कानुन संशोधन गर्ने, निर्वाचन आयोगका पदाधिकारी नियुक्त गर्ने, निर्वाचनको मिति तोक्ने र सुनिश्चितता गर्ने तथा त्यसका लागि केही समय कांग्रेस, एमालेलगायत विपक्षी पनि यही सरकारमा आउनुपर्ने जस्ता विषयमा प्याकेजमै सहमति हुनुपर्ने अडान लिँदै आएका छन् । अन्य विषयमा सहमति जनाए पनि केही समयका लागि यही सरकारमा जाने कुरालाई भने विपक्षीले अस्वीकार गर्दै आएका छन् । .... महाधिवेशनबारे बिहीबार अध्यक्ष दाहाल र भट्टराईबीच छलफल हुने बताउँछन् ।प्रधानमन्त्रीको सर्तले अप्ठ्यारो भो: दाहाल
एमाओवादी अध्यक्ष पुष्पकमल दाहालसमेत सहभागी भएको तीन दलका शीर्ष नेताको बैठकले प्रधानमन्त्री बाबुराम भट्टराई र मधेसी मोर्चाका कारण सहमतिमा गतिरोध पैदा भएको निष्कर्ष निकालेको छ । ..... पार्टीभित्रको आन्तरिक कारण र मधेसी मोर्चासँग समेतको सहयोगका कारण प्रधानमन्त्रीले अघि सारेको सर्तलाई चिरेर जान आफूलाई समस्या परिरहेको दाहालले बताएका छन् । शीर्ष नेताहरूको बुधबार बिहान भएको गोप्य छलफलमा दाहालले आफ्नै पार्टीभित्र र मोर्चाबाट सिर्जित समस्याका कारण आफूलाई अप्ठ्यारो परेको बताएका थिए । ..... एमाओवादी अध्यक्ष दाहालसहित भएको छलफल क्रममा पनि निर्वाचनमा जान बाधा अड्काउ फुकाउने, निर्वाचन आयोगमा पदाधिकारी नियुक्ति, निर्वाचनको मिति, संविधानसभाको आकार र राष्ट्रिय सहमतीय सरकारको नेतृत्व सहितको विषयलाई प्याकेजमा सहमति गरेर प्रधानमन्त्री बाबुराम भट्टराईमार्फत राष्ट्रपतिकामा सिफारिस गर्ने बाटोलाई पहिलो प्राथमिकता दिइएको छ । निर्वाचनका लागि संवैधानिक र कानुनी प्रबन्ध मिलाउने र निर्वाचन आयोगका आयुक्तहरू नियुक्तिका लागि बाधा अड्काउ फुकाउन मन्त्रिपरिषद्बाटै सिफारिस गर्नुपर्छ । अन्य विषय सीधै पठाउँदा पनि हुन्छ । प्रधानमन्त्री यसमा सहमत भए पहिला बाधा अड्काउ फुकाएर निर्वाचनको मिति तोक्ने काम हुनेछ । त्यसपछि राष्ट्रिय सहमतिको सरकारको प्रक्रिया सुरु हुनेछ । तर, ती सबै काम एक दिन गर्ने प्रस्ताव हुनेछ ।
