"No model of governance -- presidential, prime ministerial, mixed or otherwise -- has been established as ideal in the world. Each has its merits and demerits. Therefore we have to come up with the best model based on the ground reality in our society," Prime Minister Nepal said at a function organized in Kathmandu on Friday.
He said that some of the countries that adopted a presidential system such as in the United States are unhappy with the system. Likewise, other countries adopting a mixed system like Sri Lanka´s also have their grievances against that model, he said.
While giving importance to constitutional supremacy and rule of law in the new constitution, the democratic system will be given a central role, he said, adding, "There is no alternative to adopting democratic practice".
He said no system without multiparty competition and plurality will be given space in the new constitution. "No system without a role for the opposition in government can be contemplated," he added.
