The ruling UCPN (Maoist) party on Wednesday decided that the
leadership of the new unity government will be handed over to Nepali
Congress only after a package deal is reached on holding the Constituent
Assembly elections and ending political and constitutional deadlocks.
The office bearers meeting of UCPN (Maoist) party held at party chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal’s residence in Lazimpat this morning decided to adopt ‘maximum flexibility’ to forge consensus among the parties to end the political and constitutional deadlock.
Emerging from the meeting, party vice chairman Narayan Kazi Shrestha told media persons that the party is ready to call back its Prime Minister Baburam Bhattarai, who is also the party's vice chairman, if the parties strike a package deal on contentious issues and decide to handover the government leadership to Nepali Congress.
Shrestha said that during the meeting the party decided to fix the date for the next Constituent Assembly election within April next year, resolve the legal and constitutional problems that can become a hurdle to carry out elections and pave the way for a formation of unity government as soon as possible.
He also said that if the political parties agree on the NC’s prime ministerial candidate, then a new unity government will be formed under the leadership of NC.
On Tuesday, leaders from UCPN (Maoist), Nepali Congress and UML, who met at the secretariat of the Special Committee for Supervision, Integration and Rehabilitation of former Maoist combatants, said talks were inching towards a deal to accept a candidate from NC to lead the government of national consensus.
Meanwhile, it is learnt that NC is all set to unanimously name its party president Sushil Koirala as the prime ministerial candidate to lead a unity government
