Nepal: Political Parties at Odds

By Prensa Latina,

Kathmandu : After intense negotiations being extended up to the night, the four Nepalese main political parties failed on reaching a common agreement to form a government, which now will be decided at the Constituent Assembly.

“We could not reach a consensus on the constitutional provision and the presidential request. But that doesn’t mean an agreement is impossible,” said Maoist Communist Party president Pushpa Kamal Dahal.

When coming out of the Peace and Reconstruction Ministry, Dahal said there was no agreement on a common program between the government and the ministries.

Before the meeting was concluded, the leaders agreed on leaving the matter on the hands of the Constituent Assembly and the Peace and Reconstruction Ministry for a solution.

There was not an agreement either to choose the Nepalese President and Vice President, so they had to be elected in the Constituent Assembly.
