KATHMANDU: Leaders of the ruling five political parties will endeavor to finalize the report on the allocation of seats for the November 20 elections today as well.
The task force formed to finalize the number of seats submitted an incomplete report to the top leaders on Thursday evening.
The meeting to be held at the Prime Minister’s official residence in Baluwatar on Friday will discuss the issue and finalize the report.
The ruling five political parties are “close to a decision” on the issue of seat sharing for the November 20 elections.
On Thursday, leaders of the ruling coalition held two-party and multi-party meetings and narrowed down the contention, according to task force secretary Keshav Raj Joshi.
The seat allocation task force prepared the draft on seat sharing by taking into account the votes the parties got in the last election and some political issues, which Joshi believed, would be respected and just.
The parties in the ruling coalition had formed the seat allocation task force having NC leader Krishna Prasad Sitaula as its coordinator.
The task force has informed that the parties were near agreement after several rounds of discussion.
