Bagmati Province Government Formation Faces Stalemate Due to Internal Disputes and Unclear Alliances
Summary
Bagmati Province’s government formation remains stalled as UML struggles with internal disputes and uncertain support from RPP. The current minority government led by Indra Bahadur Baniyan faces the risk of further instability if no new majority is secured.
Key Points
- UML and CPN had expected to form a new government in Bagmati Province, but internal disputes inside UML have delayed the process.
- Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP) has not given clear signals, and its support is seen as decisive for any new provincial coalition.
- Chief Minister Indra Bahadur Baniyan has been running a minority government after UML withdrew support from the Congress-led administration.
- Leaders warn that if no majority is formed, Bagmati Province could enter a constitutional deadlock similar to the situation in Koshi.
