Ruling parties Nepali Congress and CPN (Maoist Center) have agreed to announce the election date in the next Cabinet meeting.

Top leaders of both parties sat for a meeting at PM residence in Baluwatar on Sunday morning and agreed to announce the date. CPN (Maoist Center) Spokesperson Pambha Bhusal said the two parties agreed to announce the date on the Cabinet meeting to be held on Monday or Tuesday.

Bhusal said the two parties will also talk to Madhesi leaders before announcing the date. The Saturday meeting between the ruling parties and Madhesi parties ended without any conclusion after both refused to budge from their stances.

The report of Local Level Restructuring Commission (LLRC) will be sent back to LLRC for a short period of time to appease the Madhesi parties, Bhusal said. Madhesi parties have been disapproving the LLRC report.
