Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba has met main opposition leader CPN-UML KP Sharma Oli to end the parliamentary deadlock.

For the meeting, Deuba reached Oli’s residence in Balkot on January 8.

This is the first time that two leaders have held a one-on-one meeting to discuss the political deadlock since Deuba became PM in July, replacing Oli.

The main opposition UML is obstructing the Parliamentary session raising the question of the legitimacy of UML. According to sources, two leaders also discussed the endorsement of the MCC project.
