KATHMANDU: The Constituent Assembly Committee to Determine the Forms of Governance today decided to settle two issues pertaining to forms of governance and election system in its next meeting slated for November 30 and December 1. These two are the key issues that will determine the political system to be incorporated in the new constitution. A sub-panel of the committee took such a decision following the failure of the parties to reach unanimous agreement regarding the issues. Earlier, several rounds of informal talks held among the leaders of major political parties could not iron out differences. Shambhu Hajara Dusadh, chairman of the committee, said that a full committee meeting called for two days would finalise the concept paper and its preliminary report even if there was no understanding. "We will try our best to avoid voting on these crucial issues," Dusadh said. The main opposition party UCPN-Maoist has come up with the idea of presidential system in which the executive president will be directly elected by the people. While, the Nepali Congress wants to give continuity to the West Ministerial model of democracy. The CPN-UML, however, wants to directly elect the executive prime minister through adult franchise. Although the three major parties appear to be almost unanimous on mixed election system, they are yet to reach a final decision. Leaders of the three major parties, however, say that plans are afoot to discuss the twin issues at the top-level meeting. But such a meeting on the issues is unlikely unless a high-level political consultative mechanism comes into force. The leaders have said they will form the mechanism within a week. Meanwhile, Constituent Assembly Chairman Subas Chandra Nembang suggested convening the high-level meeting of the parties only after the 15-member technical team narrowed down the differences on the key issues. The technical committee has started its work on the concept papers submitted by the seven thematic committees to the CA full House.
