Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal 'Prachanda' and UML Chairperson KP Sharma Oli have urged Chairperson of CPN (US) Madhav Kumar Nepal to join the new coalition government. They made the request after meeting him at his residence in Koteshwor.
Prime Minister Dahal, UML Chair Oli, Vice Chair Bishnu Prasad Paudel, General Secretary Shankar Pokharel met with leader Nepal and requested him to work together.
The meeting comes following the formation of a new ruling alliance under the leadership of Prime Minister Dahal and including the UML, the Rastriya Swatantra Party and the Janata Samajbadi Party.
