The merger between Nepali Congress and Bijaya Gachhadar-led Nepal Loktantrik Forum has been postponed for Monday. The merger between the two parties slated for Sunday evening couldn't happen.

According to Nepali Congress leader and Finance Minister Gyanendra Bahadur Karki, the merger programme between the NC and Nepal Loktantrik Forum has been put off for 11:30 am tomorrow.

Loktantrik Forum leader Yogendra Chaudhary said earlier in the day that there were issues remaining to be discussed for the unification.

“NC has not come forward with full homework for the unification, therefore unity has been finalised,” Chaudhary told the Post, “Therefore we are heading towards Election Commission to submit closed list of Proportional Representation candidates.”

The party unification was supposed to take place last Monday. However, it was put on hold citing internal management.

According to Loktantrik Chairman Bijaya Kumar Gachhadar, the unification was postponed as they were yet to conclude seat numbers to his party members.
