Top leaders of the three major political parties – Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli, Nepali Congress President Sher Bahadur Deuba and CPN-Maoist Centre Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal – today discussed the constitutional provision regarding formation of the next government.However, Oli differs with Deuba and Dahal on whether the constitutional provision is ambiguous or clear about it.An hour-long meeting called by Oli at his residence ended without any conclusion, as both the sides reiterated their argument about the process to form the new government.Oli said the constitutional provision was not clear about it.He urged them to form a common stance on clearing constitutional ambiguity regarding formation of the new government through consensus.Deuba and Dahal, however, said Article 298 of the constitution and the parliament regulations clearly mentioned about formation of the new government.They urged Oli to honour the parliamentary system by tendering resignation or by letting the Parliament take up the vote of no-confidence motion smoothly without obstructing the process. -
