Prime Minister Sushila Karki has intensified dialogue with major political parties in a bid to ensure that the House of Representatives election scheduled for March 5, 2026, takes place as planned.
As part of this effort, Prime Minister Karki dispatched Minister for Communication and Information Technology Jagadish Kharel on Friday to hold consultations with leaders of the three major political parties. Following those meetings, she has invited the same leaders to Baluwatar on Saturday for further talks.
According to the Prime Minister’s Office, leaders from the Nepali Congress, CPN-UML and the Nepal Communist Party have been invited to build trust and accelerate preparations for the upcoming election.
The government’s renewed push comes at a time when major political parties are pressing for the restoration of the House of Representatives dissolved on September 12, instead of moving directly toward elections. Against this backdrop, the interim government has prioritised confidence-building measures through sustained political dialogue.
To facilitate talks with political parties, the interim government has formed a high-level Political Dialogue Committee under the coordination of Law Minister Anil Kumar Sinha. As a member of the committee, Minister Kharel has already visited party offices and held meetings with senior leaders.
