KATHMANDU, March 26: Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal is preparing to expand the cabinet on Monday after reaching an agreement on power-sharing with the ruling coalition parties by Sunday. After taking the vote of confidence for the second time from the House of Representatives on March 20, Prime Minister Dahal said that he would expand the cabinet within Friday. But as Dahal said, the cabinet could not be expanded until Friday due to the lack of party consensus on the division of ministries. However, bilateral, multilateral discussions and internal homework are going on between the ruling coalition parties to reach an agreement.

KATHMANDU, March 10: The expansion of the cabinet will take place only after March 19. Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal is in charge of all the important ministries now after the Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP) CPN-UML and Rastriya Swatantra Party(RSP) quit the government.
