Kathmandu: Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ should resign immediately and pave the way for formation of a national consensus government, former coalition partner Communist Party of Nepal-Unified Marxist Leninist (CPN-UML) said on Sunday.
The CPN-UML demand came as Prime Minister Prachanda is preparing to face a vote of confidence in the Parliament on July 12 in view of the withdrawal of support by some allies.
Prachanda, 69, has announced that he would not quit after the resignation of eight Cabinet ministers belonging to the CPN-UML and instead face a vote of confidence in Parliament.
A parliamentary party meeting of the CPN-UML led by chairman KP Sharma Oli at the Federal Parliament building on Sunday asked Prime Minister Prachanda to resign promptly and facilitate the formation of a new government, the Kathmandu Post newspaper reported.
