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.
