KATHMANDU: Although the CPN-UML has proposed Bidhya Bhandari as the new President, the UCPN-M said it would decide whether to back her or not after holding talks with other parties, including the main opposition party, the Nepali Congress. “UML leaders on Wednesday proposed Bhandari as presidential candidate. We, however, reminded the UML leaders that there was a gentleman’s agreement to provide the post to NC. In the new context, we want UCPN-M leader Amik Sherchan for the post,” said UCPN-M spokesperson Dinanath Sharma.
