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.
