CJ-led govt only alternative: Oli

At a time when a section of the UML including general secretary Ishwor Pokharel has been opposing the idea of an election government under the Chief Justice, senior party leader K.P Sharma Oli Wednesday said the CJ-led government is the last option.

Speaking to reporters in Gorkha, Oli said that his party decided to go for CJ-led government as it was the only alternative on which the major parties would possibly agree on.

Citing example of Bangladesh where a CJ-led government had conducted elections in a situation like that of Nepal, Oli said such an arrangement would not undermine separation of power.

Constituent Assembly elections will be possible in June if the parties arrive at a consensus within a few days to form new government, he said. Nepalnews.com
