KATHMANDU: The CPN-UML and CPN (Maoist Center) have jointly staked their claim to form a new government in Koshi Province.
With the backing of 52 lawmakers, the two parties made their bid to establish a new administration on Monday.
Prior to this, both parties had withdrawn their support from the government led by Chief Minister Kedar Karki.
Asserting that Chief Minister Karki no longer commands a majority in the province, these parties have urged the Province Chief to appoint Hikmat Kumar Karki, the parliamentary party leader of UML, as the new Chief Minister of the province.
