Nepal’s new Constitution would be promulgated through two-third majority in the Constituent Assembly as it may not be possible to forge consensus among all the parties on key issues like demarcation and naming of the provinces, Deputy Prime Minister said on Thursday.
Prakash Man Singh said the new constitution will be announced only after delineating the boundaries and finalising names of the federal units, though the major political parties had reached a 16-point deal to promulgate it without naming the provinces and delineating boundaries of federal units.
“The new constitution will be promulgated at the earliest through two third majority votes in the Constituent Assembly as it would not be possible to forge consensus among all the parties on the key issues of the constitution,” he said.
The major political parties had agreed in June to hand over the responsibility of delineating and naming the States to a commission which would finalise the two issues within six months once the statue of the constitution is promulgated.
