CPN-M sets riders to participate in polls

The Mohan Baidhya-led CPN-Maoist has set three preconditions that it says will have to be fulfilled for the party to contest elections.

The party has demanded that four major political parties scrap the 11-point agreement to form an election government under Chief Justice Khil Raj Regmi, dissolve the current government and organise a round table conference to form a government of national unity.

If the preconditions are not met, we will boycott the elections, said party General Secretary Ram Bahadur Thapa at press conference organised by the party.

The news comes a day after representatives of the international community urged the party to not to boycott the elections, at an interaction programme organised by CPN-M in the Capital. nepalnews.com
