KATHMANDU: Nepal Maoists have stepped up efforts to form a new government under the leadership of its chairman Prachanda, with a key meeting held on Saturday with the CPN-UML party on the outskirts of the capital.

The Communist Party of Nepal (CPN-Maoist), which emerged as the single largest party in the April 10 Constituent Assembly elections, held a crucial meeting with CPN-UML in an effort to chalk out a roadmap for the formation of a government that has been delayed due to deadlock among the mainstream parties over power sharing.

Hectic consultation began among the CPN-UML leaders at Dhulikhel resort in the east of Kathmandu on issues linked to the formation of a new government, power sharing mechanism and common minimum programme.

Party sources said besides the election of the first president, vice president, the constitutional process for drafting the statute were among the prominent issues that featured during the discussions between the communist leaders.

Political activities have intensified in the country after the tabling of the constitution amendment bill in Constituent Assembly that would pave the way for the formation and dismissal of the government through simple majority vote.

The meeting is also expected to decide on the members of the new cabinet.
