Taskforce submits CMP before top leaders of ruling parties

In a significant development aimed at solidifying the coalition government’s agenda, a task force entrusted with formulating the government’s Common Minimum Programme (CMP) has submitted its draft to the top leaders of the ruling alliance parties. The CMP, a blueprint outlining the shared priorities and policies of the government, was formally presented to key figures including Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’, Chairperson of CPN (UML) KP Sharma Oli, CPN (Unified Socialist) Chair Madhav Kumar Nepal, and Rastriya Swatantra Party Chairperson Rabi Lamichhane.

The task force, comprised of ten members representing various political factions within the ruling coalition, had been diligently working on crafting the CMP to reflect the collective aspirations and commitments of the government. Leading the charge were prominent figures such as UML Vice Chairperson Bishnu Poudel, Maoist Centre’s Deputy General Secretaries Barshaman Pun and Janardan Sharma, and other key representatives from the political spectrum.

“We are pleased to announce the completion of the Common Minimum Programme, a testament to our collective efforts in prioritizing the nation’s interests and addressing the pressing issues facing our society,” stated a spokesperson for the task force.

The CMP draft, finalized after rigorous deliberations, encapsulates a comprehensive framework encompassing diverse sectors such as governance, economy, social welfare, and national security. It underscores the government’s commitment to fostering inclusive development, enhancing transparency, and promoting social justice across all strata of society.

As the CMP moves into the hands of the top leadership for review and endorsement, stakeholders express optimism regarding its potential to steer the government towards cohesive and impactful governance. The forthcoming discussions and consultations among coalition partners are anticipated to further refine the programme, ensuring its alignment with the collective vision of the ruling alliance.

With the presentation of the CMP, the coalition government signals its unwavering dedication to deliver on its electoral promises and address the myriad challenges confronting the nation. As Nepal stands at the threshold of progress and transformation, the collaborative efforts of political stakeholders are poised to shape a future defined by prosperity, equity, and resilience.
