Election to a New Prime Minister
By KTM Metro Reporter
August 17, 2010: the legislature has postponed the election to a new Prime Minister scheduled for August 18 to August 23 stating the legislature usually does not sit for a business after the condolence meeting held on August 17, 2010 on the demise of legislator Ram Kumari Yadav that has suffered third degree burn from the fire caused by the leakage of cooking gas in her kitchen.
At the same time, the NC leaders have lobbied the CPN-UML leaders for their support for the NC candidate Ram Chandra Poudel but the CPN-UML leaders have shown their stamina on their commitment to stay neutral in the election to a new Prime Minister or vote the candidate that can garner two-third majority.
The CPN-UML leaders have been asking both the UCPN-Maoist and NC candidates to pull out of the Prime Ministerial contest and work on the consensus politics. The NC leaders have demonstrated that they are not for the consensus politics.
Obviously, majority of the Madheshi leaders are for supporting the NC candidate disregarding the negative stand of the NC leaders on the demands of the Madheshis. Practically, the Madheshi leaders are not sure of getting their demands are met; so they are not serious about their demands.
The UCPN-Maoist leaders have said that they are flexible to work on the consensus politics and are ready to support the candidate of the CPN-UML in the fifth round of election to a new prime Minister, as they have done in the first round of the election. However, the NC leaders have said that it is the strategic flexibility only nothing else.
