Thirteen parties to continue talks

Thirteen national parties represented at the Constituent Assembly (CA) are holding a meeting, Sunday, to find ways to resolve outstanding sticky points regarding the formation of new government.

As the meeting of the seven party task force on Saturday could not reach to any conclusion, thirteen parties are going to take up the issues such as formation of new government, the provision for president, agenda for coming CA meetings, nomination of 26 CA members and integration of army.

Once the parties reach to conclusion, the top leaders of three parties will then finalise the matter, according to reports.

The issue of which party should bag the position of prime minister and president has been one of the most vexing issue.

While the Maoists have staked claim to both the positions, Nepali Congress and Unified Marxist Leninist have said that both positions should not go to a single party.
