NC leaders held a meeting today to make a decision on whether to revive the dissolved CA or go to polls for electing a new CA. The Deuba faction of NC has been for reviving the dissolved CA but other factions have not decided, yet.
Some political leaders argue that even for holding an election to a new CA, the dissolved CA should be revived to amend the Interim Constitution making a provision for holding an election to a new CA. In addition, the provision for updating voters’ list made in the Interim Constitution needs to be amended for holding an election to a new CA.
