The President's Office is currently discussing about whether to issue the ordinance on election of National Assembly Friday or not.
"We are having an intense discussion. We will decide by Friday noon," an official at the President's Office told Setopati.
CPN (Maoist Center) Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal had advised President Bidhya Devi Bhandari to issue the ordinance about election of the National Assembly during their meeting on Thursday.
Formation of the new government has been stalled as President Bhandari is sitting on the ordinance for over two months with the parties divided on whether the election for National Assembly should be held in Single Transferable Vote system or majority system.
The left alliance has been demanding that the EC should announce the final results of HoR and send that to the President’s Office before formation of the National Assembly. But all the other national parties including Nepali Congress (NC), Federal Socialist Forum Nepal (FSFN) and Rastriya Janata Party Nepal (RJP) argue that the EC can determine the number of women each party will have to send to the HoR only after formation of the National Assembly.
The next government cannot be formed until the EC sends the final results of HoR to the President’s Office.
