However, the swearing-in ceremony and the cabinet expansion have been delayed as the NC has not been able to determine the names of its ministers who will join the new government amid disputes within the party.
So far, the UML, Janata Samajwadi, and Loktantrik Samajwadi parties have finalized the names of their ministers.
