Voting set to start in CA to finalise appropriate federal model

Voting is all set to begin at the Constituent Assembly Thursday to find a consensus federal model and resolve other disputed issues of constitution drafting.

The major political parties agreed to carry out voting at the CA after they failed to arrive at a consensus over federalism despite holding number of meetings till late Wednesday night.

The meeting of major political parties and the United Democratic Madhesi Front (UDMF) failed to narrow down their differences as UCPN (Maoist) refused to budge from their stance on ethnicity-based federalism while NC and CPN (UML) were against it, arguing that it will only invite communal tension among different ethnic groups. nepalnews.com
