Cabinet expansion only after court’s decision on writ petition by UML Chairman Oli

KATHMANDU: The ruling alliance is preparing to expand the Cabinet only after the Supreme Court (SC)’s decision on the writ petition filed by former Prime Minister and CPN-UML Chairman KP Sharma Oli.  The apex court is hearing the petition filed against Speaker Agni Prasad Sapkota and Election Commission (EC).  Oli has demanded the court issue an order to implement the decision of the party to expel 14 lawmakers including Madhav Kumar Nepal, who later formed a new party named CPN (Unified Socialist). While Sapkota was accused of not dismissing its 14 expelled lawmakers,  EC was charged with verifying its lawmakers for the purpose of registering a new party --- CPN (Unified Socialist).  In the petition, Oli demanded the apex court relieve the 14 lawmakers and scrap the decision of the election body to register CPN (US).  One of the ministers of the Sher Bahadur Deuba-led Cabinet said that the Council of Ministers will have a full shape once the apex court takes the decision on the case.

Cabinet expansion immediately unlikely

KATHMANDU, Aug 16: Nepali Congress (NC) President Sher Bahadur Deuba was appointed the prime minister succeeding CPN-UML’s KP Sharma Oli on July 13.  A month has already passed since Deuba took helm of the government following the Supreme Court’s mandamus on July 12. Five days after he assumed his office and won the House’s confidence with 165 votes in the 275-strong lower House of parliament.  The Deuba-led Cabinet has six members including four ministers --- two from the Nepali Congress (NC) and the CPN (Maoist Center) each --- and a minister of state from the NC.  Deuba, backed by the Maoist Center, Janata Samajbadi Party, CPN-UML’s Madhav Nepal faction and Rastriya Janamorcha during the voting on trust motion, seems to have given least priority to Cabinet expansion. The ruling parties have failed to continue their talks regarding this issue since August 8. Ruling parties are now busy holding their internal meetings. PM Deuba was busy attending NC’s Central Committee meeting from Thursday to Saturday last week.  The leaders of the Maoist Center were also engaged in the party’s CC meeting on Saturday and Sunday.  JSP, another important member of the alliance, is also holding its CC meeting on Tuesday and Wednesday, meaning Cabinet expansion is still a least priority for the alliance.  JSP Chairperson Upendra Yadav also said that expansion of the Cabinet is not possible immediately unless they hold their party’s CC meeting.  Ramesh Lekhak, a Congress leader, said that Cabinet will get its complete shape in four days. According to him, Cabinet expansion is lagging as it is the coalition government.
