Name PM from outside top three parties: Bhandari-led alliance to President

The Sharat Singh Bhandari-led Sanghiya Loktatntrik Morcha has urged President Ram Baran Yadav to name some one from outside the top three parties as the Prime Minister of a government of national unity.

Alliance leaders, who called on President Yadav earlier today, said if any leader from NC, UML of UCPN (Maoist) were to become Prime Minister, free and fair elections would not be possible.

Bhandari said that consensus among all political parties, and not just the top three, was necessary to resolve the current political crisis.

The alliance comprises seven parties, including Madhesi Janaadhikar Forum-Nepal, Rastriya Madhesh Samajwadi Party and Tamsaling Nepal. nepalnews.com
