Nepali Congress and CPN-UML Leaders Strategize Over New Coalition Government

Nepali Congress president Sher Bahadur Deuba met with CPN-UML chairperson KP Sharma Oli on Wednesday to discuss political developments and formulating a strategy for the new coalition government. They aim to gather support and form a national consensus government under Oli, following the collapse of Prachanda's administration.

Nepali Congress president Sher Bahadur Deuba and CPN-UML chairperson KP Sharma Oli convened on Wednesday to deliberate on the latest political shifts and future course of action in Nepal, following an agreement between the two parties to establish a new coalition government.

This crucial meeting, spanning two hours at Deuba’s Budhanilkantha residence, primarily focused on formulating strategies for the coalition, including gathering signatures to support Oli's leadership and presenting them to the president.

In addition, they discussed forming the new government and inviting smaller parties to join the national consensus government under Oli's leadership. The CPN-UML had recently withdrawn support from Prachanda's government after sealing a new power-sharing agreement with the Nepali Congress.
