Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) leader Baburam Bhattarai, in an interview to the BBC, said that the Maoists would have to respect the decisions of a constituent assembly if elections to it were "free and fair". He added that, "We think this is a step forward in our democratic movement, but it's still worryingly ambiguous… It's not clear whether the constitutional assembly would be conditional or unconditional - that means whether it will be sovereign, free to decide on anything including the abolition of the monarchy, or the continuation of monarchy… Our point of view is that it has to be a sovereign constituent assembly which can decide on the abolition of monarchy, and an institutionalised democratic republic." However, "If the elections are free and fair, one has to respect the result of the elections. Then of course we will abide by the verdict of the people. But we don't believe that the verdict will go in favour of the king."

Reciprocating the Communist Party Nepal-Maoist’s three-month-long unilateral truce, the Government announced a cease-fire on May 3 and also invited the Maoists for talks. Deputy Prime Minister K. P. Sharma Oli said, “We have taken a political decision according to the spirit of the jan andolan (mass uprising). That, of course, is ceasefire and removal of red corner notices issued against certain Maoist leaders.” Elaborating on the time period, Oli informed that “it will be in force until further decision on the issue”.

Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal alias Prachanda, in an interview warned that an international conspiracy was being hatched against Nepal. "We are of the view that Nepalese should not kneel down on anybody's pressure and that nobody should intervene or meddle on issues related to Nepal's sovereignty. You write it in clear words, the kind of warning (US Assistant Secretary for South Asia) Richard Boucher is giving right now…tell me who is he and on what basis is he saying that this or that should happen in Nepal. Nepalese people should rise against all such tendencies," he said. During his brief visit to Kathmandu in April, Boucher had reportedly advised the Nepal Government not to include Maoists in the interim Government unless they give up arms.

On the question of managing arms possessed by the Maoists, Prachanda said the essence of the 12-point understanding (with the seven party alliance) was that activities of both the People's Liberation Army (PLA) and the Royal Nepalese Army should be put under the supervision of the United Nations or any other credible international organization. "There is no question of management. Whatever the constituent assembly election decides, the management (of arms) should be done according to that," he said, adding, "What (the 12-point MoU says) in fact is keeping both the army under the supervision of reliable international organization, hold elections to constituent assembly and based on the outcome – move on to form a restructured new national army."

They made public the 25-point Cease-fire Code of Conduct to pave the way for elections to the Constituent Assembly, modalities of which would be discussed during the next round of talks. The coordinator of the Government team, Home Minister Krishna Prasad Sitaula, and the coordinator from the Maoists’ side, Krishna Bahadur Mahara, signed the Cease-fire Code of Conduct. “We will soon hold election to Constituent Assembly and will create an environment in which people will be able to exercise their democratic rights without fear and threats,” said Sitaula after signing the code and added that the “next round of the talks will focus on the process and modalities of election to the Constituent Assembly and whatever differences we may have will be settled amicably.” Meanwhile, Mahara reportedly said, “election to Constituent Assembly is our one-point agenda.” Some of the points agreed upon at the meeting included: both sides to refrain from activities that may provoke the other side; Mobilisation of arms to stop; both sides shall not attack security bases of the other side or use landmine or ambush against each other; fresh recruitment to stop and bandh (shutdown) or strike will not be called during the truce.
