Three
major parties – Unified Communist
Party of Nepal-Maoist (UCPN-M),
Nepali Congress (NC) and Communist
Party of Nepal-Unified Marxist Leninist
(CPN-UML) – and the United Madheshi
Democratic Front (UMDF) have agreed
to promulgate the constitution within
May 27 while leaving disputed issues
to the "transformed legislature
parliament" to resolve, Nepal
News reports. As per the understanding
reached in the meeting of top leaders
of the three parties in the morning
of May 25 (today), the draft of
the constitution will be issued
by the Constituent Assembly (CA)
within its deadline and that the
parties will agree on the names
and the number of the provinces
before that. The CA will turn into
legislature parliament after the
promulgation of the draft of the
constitution.
The
understanding comes a day after
the Supreme Court stayed the Government's
decision to extend the CA's term
by three months.
Meanwhile,
the UCPN-M and UMDF have agreed
that the Prime Minister would not
resign before the constitution is
promulgated. |
