Leaders of political parties have said that broad consensus is necessary to amend the constitution. They said that the amendment of the constitution should be carried out based on the needs of the country rather than forming a power coalition.
In a program organized by the Kusom Policy Lab of Kathmandu University Management School on Saturday, Congress leader Minendra Rizal said that constitutional amendment is necessary for political stability in the areas of electoral system and good governance.
The election system is like this. Even if the party gets the majority, there is instability," he said. "The party that gets 36 percent votes should get the majority by revising the electoral system." It is necessary to change the electoral system. Not by closing the proportional system,' he said, 'Strong provisions should be put in place to have more proportional and inclusive representation.' Dissatisfaction with the constitution has increased. "Almost all parties agree that the constitution should be amended to save it," he said, "but it is not easy."
Maoist leader Rekha Sharma mentioned that the issue of amending the constitution has come up to form an alliance and said that her party is also ready to amend the constitution for political stability. If the constitution is to be amended for political stability, there should be a fully proportional election system and a directly elected executive of the union and state. This coalition change should not be made an issue.
She said that if the constitution is to be amended, it should be done so that 50 percent of women and Dalits are represented based on the population.
RSVP leader Santosh Pariyar said that the leaders of major parties did not take the issue of constitutional amendment seriously.
'I do not believe that the Congress-UML will amend the constitution', he said, 'If the amendment is done honestly, it is acceptable to our party. Amendment is not possible only if two parties are united. Extensive discussion, debate is necessary.'
