KATHMANDU: Senior leaders of Janata Samajwadi Party Mahanta Thakur and Rajendra Mahato have reached Budhanilkanta to hold talks with Nepali Congress President Sher Bahadur Deuba.
Nepali Congress President Deuba is reportedly submitting a proposal to the President today to form a majority government in his leadership.
NC leader Ramesh Lekhak said that Deuba would propose to President Bidya Devi Bhandari to appoint him as the Prime Minister with the support of his party, the Maoist Center, and the JSP.
Even though the Upendra Yadav faction of JSP has supported Deuba, Mahatha Thakur and Rajendra Mahato are still in opposition.
The three-day deadline given by President Bidya Bhandari to form a new government is expiring today.
President Bhandari had given a three-day deadline to the opposition parties to form a new government after Prime Minister Oli failed to secure the vote of confidence on May 10.
The opposition parties have not been able to forge consensus on the formation of a new government when the given deadline is expiring at 9 pm today.
