Communist Party of Nepal-Unified Socialist (CPN-Unified Socialist) Chairman Madhav Kumar Nepal has said he does not see any possibility of the leftist parties coming together and forming a government, reports The Kathmandu Post on November 30. Chairman, Nepal, while talking to journalists at the end of this party’s Secretariat meeting on November 29, said that the stance of the party, a member of the current ruling coalition which also contested the parliamentary and provincial elections as an alliance, means it would be easy for the coalition to form the next government. The ruling coalition comprises the Nepali Congress (NC), Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist Centre (CPN-Maoist Center), CPN-Unified Socialist, Rastriya Janamorcha and the Loktantrik Samajbadi Party (LSP). Despite the electoral alliance, the CPN-Unified Socialist has won just 10 seats in the federal parliament and 14 seats in various provincial assemblies. The party is struggling to retain its status as a national party for which it must garner at least three percent of the popular votes in parliamentary elections. "I don't see the possibility of a leftist alliance forming a government," he said, "We have decided to continue our partnership with the ruling coalition."
