KATHMANDU: Prime Minister KP Oli has called for a meeting of the ruling coalition’s high-level political mechanism.
The meeting is set for 5 pm today (Sunday) at the Prime Minister’s official residence in Baluwatar.
A party leader shared that the meeting will focus on resolving several issues, including the current deadlock over six ordinances recently introduced by the government.
The high-level political mechanism comprises Prime Minister Oli, who also serves as the Chairman of the CPN-UML, and Nepali Congress President Sher Bahadur Deuba. Its goal is to ensure the success of the Congress-UML coalition government.
The government had intended to present the ordinances to both the House of Representatives and the National Assembly for approval. However, after failing to secure an agreement with the Janata Samajwadi Party, Nepal—whose support was vital in the National Assembly—the ordinances were removed from both houses’ agendas that day.
The government had submitted six ordinances to both Houses. Since then, over 50 motions to reject the ordinances have been filed in the House of Representatives.
