Parliament unveils PM election schedule
KATHMANDU, FEB 10 -
The parliamentary secretariat has made public the work schedule of Monday's parliament session of the Constituent Assembly.
As per the action plan, Prime Minister Candidate Nepali Congress President Sushil Koirala and supporter CPN-UML parliamentary party leader KP Oli is scheduled to put forth their opinion.
Following this, Surya Bahadur Thapa, the oldest lawmaker in the new Constituent Assembly (CA), will forward the proposal to elect Koirala as the new PM .
Koirala is the lone candidate in today's PM election . If elected, Koirala will become the sixth PM after the first CA election in 2008.
On Sunday, Koirala had filed his candidacy for the prime minister following a seven-point agreement on power-sharing between the two largest parties -- the NC and UML -- to pave the way for forming Koirala-led government.
With Koirala’s election , the country will get a new elected executive head 21 months after the dissolution of the first CA, nearly three months after the second one was elected. The Cabinet will replace the Chief Justice-led technocratic government formed in March last year.
