Nepal fails to agree on new government

Update: 2013-02-20 00:05 GMT
Though the major political parties in Nepal have in principle agreed to form an election government led by the Chief Justice, efforts to clinch a ‘package deal’ to end the political deadlock remained inconclusive.

Two rounds of meetings held on Tuesday ended without making any decision regarding the formation of the new government after the leaders failed to sort out differences, highly placed sources said.

The leaders were working out a package deal on key issues including peace process, constitution drafting, formation of government and election procedure.

As they needed more time for discussion to narrow down differences they have decided to again meet on Wednesday, sources said.
