Averting a major Constitutional crisis, Nepal’s key parties on Sunday agreed to extend the tenure of the Constituent Assembly by three months in a last-minute deal under which Prime Minister Jhalanath Khanal will step down for the formation of a national consensus government.
The breakthrough came after overnight consultations between main political parties — Nepali Congress, the Maoists and CPN-UML — to forge a five-point agreement on the peace process and extending the term of Constituent Assembly which expired last night.
Out of 508 parliament members, 504 lawmakers voted in the favour of the bill for 9th amendment of the Constitution seeking to extend the term of the Constituent Assembly for three months.
After successfully throwing out the Monarchy Nepalese are still unable to bring in a Constitution that can make it a Democratic Republic, thanks the local communists.
