Nepal Govt working on unity government in efforts to frame new Constitution | Nepal's Prime Minister Baburam Bhattarai is working to form a unity government
in attempts to agree to a new constitution by the end of May. Bhattarai's cabinet
resigned on Thursday to make way for the new administration while the prime minister
himself will step down by the end of the month. According to the BBC, parties
have vowed to meet the deadline, having missed previous ones. Bhattarai, a senior
Maoist leader, is expected to form the coalition government over the weekend,
which will see the formation of the new constitution, as a key part of a peace
process launched in 2006 after Maoist rebels ended a 10-year revolt, Previously,
the Maoists won most seats in elections in 2008 but fell short of an overall majority
in the Constituent Assembly. It was then given two years to write a new constitution
but that deadline has been extended as negotiations have faltered. Nepal 's Supreme
Court has finally set an ultimate deadline of 27 May for parties to reach an agreement. |
