CPN Discusses Provincial Government Formation with Nepali Congress and CPN-UML
Summary
The Communist Party of Nepal (CPN) is negotiating with Nepali Congress and CPN-UML for forming provincial governments through consensus, aiming for a tripartite alliance rather than aligning with just one party. The party is divided internally on whether to participate in governments without consensus.
Key Points
- CPN is in talks with Nepali Congress and CPN-UML to form consensus provincial governments in all seven provinces.
- The alliance between Congress and UML collapsed due to failure in implementing a rotational government.
- CPN leaders Prachanda and Madhav Kumar Nepal prefer forming a tripartite consensus government and taking initiative for it.
- There are two distinct opinions within CPN regarding participation in provincial governments — some oppose power games while others support participation if consensus is possible.
