KATHMANDU, MARCH 5
Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal and UML Chairperson KP Sharma Oli have urged CPN (US) Chairperson Madhav Kumar Nepal to join the new coalition government.
They made the request after meeting him at his residence in Koteshwar today. Prime Minister Dahal, UML Chair Oli, Vice Chair Bishnu Prasad Paudel, and General Secretary Shankar Pokharel met with leader Nepal and requested him to work together.
The meeting follows the formation of a new ruling alliance under Prime Minister Dahal's leadership, including the UML, the Rastriya Swatantra Party, and the Janata Samajbadi Party.
During the meeting, Nepal questioned why he was not informed about the new agreement between the four parties. This is the first time that leaders Oli and Nepal are meeting in Koteshwar after the UML was divided into two factions.
Prime Minister Dahal had also met with Nepal at his residence in Koteshwar on Monday. Responding to the media after the meeting, UML Chair Oli said that the discussion with leader Nepal ended on a positive note.
General Secretary of the CPN (US) Party, Ghanashyam Bhusal, stated that Prime Minister Dahal and Chairperson Oli shared the need and justification for a new alliance and made a request to join the alliance.
A decision on this matter will be made by a party meeting scheduled for Wednesday.
