Maoist leaders also discussed possible candidates from the Unified CPN (Maoist) party in case the party decides to head the next government. The party is, however, yet to make a final decision on the matter.
"Chairman (Pushpa Kamal Dahal) will again hold discussions over the issue, probably in the evening today, and finalize whether to propose a prime ministerial candidate or not," Barsha Man Pun, secretariat member of Unified CPN (Maoist) told myrepublica.com.
Major political parties in parliament on Thursday decided to hold the election for a new prime minister at 3 p.m. Saturday.
According to Pun, most leaders in the meeting suggested the party propose one of its senior leaders as its candidate if it decides to head the next government.
Maoist leaders in the secretariat meeting also discussed the content of the address to be made by the party Chairman and outgoing Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal in Parliament in the evening today.
Dahal´s address will focus mainly on the achievements of the nine month coalition government headed by the Maoist party, while also clarifying the reasons behind the party´s decision to step down from government, according to Pun.
