There was no any discussion during the meeting about the CPN (US) joining the government considering the final election result not out yet while re-election is due in some constituencies and disputes continues in few constituencies, the Spokesperson said.

“The equation of the parliamentarians could be up and down based on the number of seats secured by the political parties under the Proportional Representation (PR) system. We did not discuss the situation of government formation today,” he asserted.

He added, for the party to decide on its future course of action factors like parliamentary mathematics should be fixed and how the government will be formed should be fixed first.
