The President's Office claims that there is an understanding between the three parties and the government to make the election successful.
The government and three parties have reached an agreement to create an environment for the elections to be held on Falgun 21.
The President's Press Advisor Kiran Pokharel claimed that such an understanding was reached during a discussion with Prime Minister Sushila Karki, Nepali Congress President Sher Bahadur Deuba, UML Chairman KP Sharma Oli, and NCP Coordinator Pushpa Kamal Dahal at the Presidential Palace, Sheetal Niwas on Tuesday afternoon. According to Pokharel, an agreement has also been reached to hold detailed discussions in Baluwatar to create an environment for the election. 'The election has been announced to provide a solution in a situation where the country's situation is serious and sensitive. Keeping this seriousness in mind, it is the sole responsibility of all of us to make the election successful,' Pokharel said, quoting President Poudel. During the meeting, Prime Minister Karki said that all parties should cooperate to hold the election on time under the specified circumstances, said Press Advisor Pokharel.
President Poudel had urged the top leaders of the three main political parties, including the Prime Minister, to make the upcoming House of Representatives elections scheduled for February 21 a success, stating that elections are the only option to resolve the country's current complex situation.
For the first time since the Gen-G movement, Prime Minister Karki had a direct conversation with top leaders of the Nepali Congress, UML and NCP.
The conversation took place at Sheetal Niwas in the presence of President Ramchandra Poudel. President Poudel himself called for the discussion. Top leaders of the three parties, including former Prime Ministers Deuba, Oli and Dahal, participated in the discussion.
