PM Deuba, Prachanda Agree To Form New Govt In Nepal

Kathmandu: Nepal’s Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba and CPN-Maoist Centre chairman Pushpakamal Dahal Prachanda have agreed to continue to form government in the country.

Both leaders held a meeting here on Saturday and as part of a new majority the ruling five-party alliance will take on the charge.

As the results of Nepal’s parliamentary elections under direct voting come closer to an end, top political parties have intensified efforts for the formation of a new government to end the political instability that has plagued the Himalayan nation for more than a decade.

Elections to the House of Representatives (HoR) and seven provincial assemblies were held on Sunday. The counting of votes started on Monday.
