Seat sharing among ruling parties for poll within two days: Chairman Prachanda

By TRN Online, Kathmandu, Aug. 29: CPN (Maoist Center) Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal 'Prachanda' has said that the ruling coalition will finalise the seat sharing by Wednesday.

Addressing a training programme on politico-ideology thoughts organised by the party's Valley Special Province Committee, the Maoist Chair shared that by September 5, the ruling parties will also fix which party will have which constituencies, both for the House of Representatives (HoR) and Provincial Assembly (PA) election.

The election of the members of the HoR and the PA is slated for November 20, and the ruling five parties have decided to form an electoral alliance and share seats.

The Maoist Center Chairman said that his party will fix the candidates by September 10, and asked the party committees to recommend names of candidates by September 5.

"We are close to finalise seat sharing among the ruling parties. The present coalition will continue even after the election. With regard to seat sharing, our claim is that our party should be allocated 60 seats for the HoR and 120 for the PA," he said.
