Nepal\u2019s left alliance, Communist Party of Nepal-United Marxist Alliance (CPN-UML) and CPN-Maoist Center, has been riding on success in the recently-concluded Nepal general elections 2017.<\/p>\n
However, the communist parties\u2019 cabinet seat-sharing has been a matter of discussion since the time results were announced.<\/p>\n
As per the latest update, the two parties are most likely to go on for a 60:40 ratio in seat sharing (the same ratio implemented for fielding candidates) if their discussions do not materialize before the formation of the new Nepali Government.<\/p>\n
UML is reportedly keen on offering 30 percent cabinet seats to its ally MC based on the number of seats the party won in the recently-concluded polls.<\/p>\n
According to Senior MC party leader Narayan Kaji Shrestha, the announcement of Proportional Representation (PR) seats will give a needed boost to the process of new government formation.<\/p>\n
\u201cOtherwise, there is no alternative but to reach a deal with the Nepali Congress (on the ordinance forwarded for National Assembly election),\u201d Narayan added.<\/p>\n
It will take at least two weeks to form the new government even after allotment of PR seats, says UML leader Rinal.<\/p>\n
The discussions over announcement of Khadga Prasad Oli as the next Nepali PM<\/a> was also halted due to row over the formation of new National Assembly.<\/p>\n \u201cThe meeting of the party unification coordination committee will begin as soon as Dahal returns from Chitwan, may be on Tuesday evening or Wednesday,\u201d informed UML Secretary Pradeep Gyawali.<\/p>\n
