The Nepali Congress has nominated party president Sushil Koirala as its prime ministerial candidate.
A meeting of the party's central working committee (CWC) central office in Sanepa in the afternoon nominated Koirala as the PM candidate, party leaders told mediapersons after the meeting.
Earlier today, NC office-bearers had decided to make the formal announcement following calls from the CPN-UML and the UCPN (Maoist) at the three-party meeting last evening to do so.
While the UML has already expressed support to the NC to lead the consensus government the UCPN (Maoist) has vaguely hinted at agreeing to give the government leadership to NC provided there is an understanding on issues related to the new constitution. Similarly fringe parties have also decided to back Koirala's candidacy, said Chairman of Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP) Pashupati Shumsher Rana
