The Deuba government will dismiss the local people’s representatives nominated by the Surya Bahadur Thapa government, a source close to the government told Nepalnews. “Fresh appointments will be made at all levels as soon as an all-party cabinet is formed,” the source added.
Leaders of the UML party are demanding the reinstatement of the local bodies elected by the local election of 1998. However sources within the NC(D) say it is unlikely that the new government will reinstate them.
