The meeting of the seven party alliance (SPA) held at the Prime Minister’s residence at Baluwatar Saturday morning has formed a team to finalise the points of consenses and to prepare the draft of the agreement.
The team includes Dr Babu Ram Bhattarai of the CPN-Maoist, Bharat Mohan Adhikari of UML, Bimalendra Nidhi of Nepali Congress, Lila Mani Pokhrel of People's Front Nepal and C. P Mainali of United Left Front. The entrusted team is expected to finalise the points of consensus and to prepare the agreement paper within hours.
The team will present the draft before the top leaders the SPA for approval at a meeting in the afternoon.
According to leaders, they are likely to ink the agreement by afternoon and present at the Interim Parliament/Legislature for endorsement to avoid constitutional difficulties. The parliament session is scheduled for 4 p.m. today.
The SPA top leaders had failed to convene their formal meeting on Friday as the three major parties could not agree on a fresh power-sharing deal as demanded by Maoists and the CPN-UML.
