Parties fail to reach consensus on CA vice chair

As the parties have failed to reach consensus to field a common candidate for the Constituent Assembly (CA) vice chair, it is likely that they will fight it out.

The parties needed to reach consensus on the issue by Tuesday. However, Nepali Congress (NC), Terai Madhes Loktantrik Party (TMLP) and other smaller parties have staked claim to the position.

In fact, the 13 smaller parties have already projected RPP member Pratibha Rana as their common candidate for the position.

The process of filing candidacy and the election of vice chair will begin from Wednesday.

As per the approved statute calendar, a vice chair has to be elected within November. nepalnews.com sd Nov 26 08
