The UCPN (Maoist), an important ally of the incumbent KP Sharma Oli-led government, has decided to form a new government under the leadership of its Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal. A Standing Committee meeting of the party held at Dahal’s residence in Lazimpat took a decision to this effect on Wednesday morning. Meanwhile, the party has also appealed to all the parties to join the coalition government. Issuing a press statement after the meeting, the UCPN (M) said that it has decided to form a new government under the leadership of Chairman Dahal at a time when the Nepali Congress is also willing to extend its support for the new government under Dahal's leadership. “Although we had decided to support the KP Oli-led government with view to safeguard national sovereignty, settle remaining issues of peace process; resolve political issues through talks and reconstruction works, the government failed to move ahead with the tasks despite drawing attention of the UML leadership by the party,” read the statement. With the UCPN (M)’s decision to form the new government, the future of Oli-led government has hung in balance.
