KATHMANDU: According to UML leader Pradeep Gyawali, party Chair KP Sharma Oli told a meeting of senior leaders of the party that the outline of the unification of UML and CPN-MC would be finalised before the government formation and the unification itself would be completed by mid-March.

“The new government will be formed by next week,” he added. When asked about delay in the progress on unification, Gyawali said, “Finalising ideological issues and deciding on the leader of the unified party is a complicated task.”
