Meanwhile, talks among Deuba’s close aides are continuing at his Maharajgunj residence, with senior leaders including Purna Bahadur Khadka, Minendra Rijal and Balkrishna Khand taking part.
The party had almost finalized ticket allocation in consensus last night. However, differences have surfaced after Deuba and former Acting President Purna Bahadur Khadka issued greetings for the Lhosar festival in the capacity of incumbent President and Acting President.
