The fifth largest party in the Constituent Assembly (CA), the TMDP had not made clear whether it would join the government despite it supported Nepal in his race for prime ministerial candidate.



Sonal said that their meeting is underway. "The meeting is likely to publicize the names of ministers to represent the party in the government," he said.



The TMDP has staked claim for two ministries in the new cabinet under Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist Leninist).



Meanwhile, Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP) is holding its central committee meeting whether to join the new government, according to the party leader Parshu Ram Khapung. "The decision will be taken once the deliberation of central committee members is over."
