Poudel fails to get elected as Nepal PM in eleventh round of polls | Nepali Congress parliamentary party president Ram Chandra Poudel failed to get elected as prime minister in the eleventh round of election at the legislature parliament in the Constituent Assembly (CA) Hall at Naya Baneshwor on Thursday. Poudel secured 104 votes in
his favour while 1 vote was cast against him. 40 lawmakers opted for 'no vote'
section in the ballot paper. Altogether 145 lawmakers participated during the
voting, Nepal News reports. The Business Advisory Committee has now decided to
hold the 12th round of elections on October 10 at 1 pm. The Nepali Congress has
said it would not quit the race unless there is a "package deal" on major issues
- peace process, constitution-drafting and power-sharing. A meeting of the top
leaders of the big three parties ahead of yesterday's vote was inconclusive with
the NC refusing to budge from its stance. UCPN (Maoist) and UML have requested
Speaker Nemwang to use his 'prerogative' to suspend the clause on prime ministerial
election to end the impasse.
