KATHMANDU: CPN (UML) Chairman KP Sharma Oli and Nepali Communist Party (NCP) Coordinator Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ held a two-hour meeting on Tuesday to discuss provincial government formation.

The two leaders agreed to first push for an all-party government in the provinces before drafting a formal agreement.

Clarifying that no final deal has been reached with the UML yet, one NCP leader noted that Prachanda will finalize the agreement draft upon returning from Madhesh Province, following further consultations with the main opposition, Nepali Congress.
