A meeting of the CPN-Maoist Secretariat held Tuesday came up with the decision to stay in opposition and concluded that the other political parties are forming alliance against the CPN-M.

Emerging from the meeting, Prachanda told journalists that his party decided to revoke its earlier decision to form a new government.

The CPN-Maoist, which was disappointed after its candidate lost the presidential race, had warned to stay out of the government after lawmakers rejected Ram Raja Prasad Singh in Monday ‘s presidential run-off election.

Earlier, the CPN-Maoist, which won the most seats in April 10 Constituent Assembly (CA) elections, was poised to form a new government after it became the largest party in the CA poll.
