The Communist Party of Nepal (UML) has decided to participate in the government under the leadership of Bharat Mohan Adhikari. A meeting of the UML Standing Committee held Thursday morning took the decision.

A central leader informed Nepalnews that Adhikari’s name was passed by the meeting after a heated debate as senior leaders KP Sharma Oli and Bam Dev Gautam expressed opposition to his selection.

According to him, the meeting has formally decided to ask the prime minister for seven ministries in the coalition government. It is learnt the party has already informed the prime minister about its choice of ministries which is yet to be approved by other allies.

Names of other leaders to be inducted into the Council of Ministers will be finalized once the party gets confirmation about the ministries being offered to it.
