Top leaders of the eight Nepali ruling political parties expressed their commitment to hold the Constituent Assemble (CA) elections on agenda in the meeting started in Kathmandu on Saturday afternoon, local newspaper The Rising Nepal reported on Sunday.
At the meeting, leaders of the all eight political parties expressed their commitment to the election of the CA and stressed the need for all to be united for building a conducive environment for the CA election, said Amik Sherchan, president of the United People's Front Nepal, one of the eight ruling parties.
According to Sherchan, Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) (CPN-M) leaders have said their party would not shy away from the elections, whatever the result may be.
The meeting concluded with an agreement to meet again in days, without making any headway as the proposals of the parties needed more ground work.
The CPN-M presented an eighteen-point demand at the eight-party task force meeting on Saturday morning, pressing for immediate abolition of the monarchy by the Interim Parliament and proclamation of a republic.
After the Comprehensive Peace Accord was signed in last November, CPN-M stepped in Interim Parliament on Jan. 15 and, along with other seven parties, formed the Interim Government on April 1. The eight parties are working to hold the CA elections stipulated in the peace accord, which has been slated for Nov. 22.
