KATHMANDU, July 14: General Secretary of CPN-UML Ishwor Pokhrel has said that his party was in favour of parliamentary elections, not Constituent Assembly (CA) elections.



Speaking at a progarm organized by the CPN-UML in the capital on Saaturday, Pokhrel claimed that disputed issues in the constitution would not be resolved just by reinstating the CA or holding fresh CA elections.[break]



The UML leader was of the opinion that a new commission should be formed to prepare a draft of the constitution as 80 per cent work of the constitution was completed by the CA and the new legislature-parliament should promulgate it.



Pokhrel said that political consensus was the only way to forge consensus in disputed issues of constitution, form a national unity government and end the present political impasse.
