GANDAKI GOVERNMENT FORMATION DELAYED AMID UNCERTAINTY
Summary
The formation of a new government in Gandaki Province is delayed due to the requirement of support from the Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP), despite an agreement between CPN-UML and CPN at the central level.
Key Points
- CPN-UML and CPN have 28 MPs in Gandaki Provincial Assembly but need at least 30 to form a government.
- Support from Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP) is essential as they hold 2 seats but have not yet decided.
- CPN-UML has not withdrawn from the Congress-led government due to lack of formal agreement with RPP.
- Informal talks are ongoing, but no formal meetings have taken place regarding government formation.
- Nepali Congress may seek support from RPP and NESP if UML and CPN cannot form a government.
