The parliamentary party meeting held on Thursday concluded that the current government led by KP Sharma Oli will not last much longer. During the meeting, Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal stated that discussions will begin as soon as NC President Sher Bahadur Deuba returns from Thailand, where he is currently receiving medical treatment.
As there was an agreement with the UML for a rotating prime ministership, Chairman Dahal hinted at supporting Nepali Congress President Sher Bahadur Deuba as the next prime minister. However, he did not clarify whether the Maoist Centre would join the new government.
Dahal stated that during the recently conducted campaign focused on the Postal Highway, the public had suggested that the Maoist Centre should not participate in the government. Therefore, the party would hold internal discussions before deciding whether or not to be part of the new government.
