In a dramatic development, Nepal's two largest political parties have brokered a midnight power-sharing deal to form a new government, aiming to replace the current coalition led by Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal 'Prachanda'.

The agreement, finalized between Nepali Congress President Sher Bahadur Deuba and CPN-UML chairman K P Sharma Oli, outlines a rotational prime ministerial position and division of ministerial roles. This pact promises to provide the much-needed political stability in Nepal's fragile system.

Despite the agreement, Prachanda has refused to step down, choosing instead to face a confidence vote. This ongoing political maneuvering sheds light on Nepal's turbulent governing landscape, marked by 13 different governments in the past 16 years.
