How, the leaders of major political parties will hold the leadership of power.
The largest party of the Parliament Nepali Congress President Sher Bahadur Deuba has staked claim for the leadership of government. He presented the claim saying that he will lead the government for the last time. Along with Deuba, Ram Chandra Paudel, Gagan Thapa and Shekhar Koirala are also eying the coveted post. Thapa has already said that he will vie for the post of Parliamentary Party leader while Pauel has urged Deuba to help him become the prime minister. Koirala is also aspiring to become the prime minister. However, it seems very difficult for Thapa, who is also the general secretary of the party, to be elected as the Parliamentary Party leader as Paudel and Koirala are also staking their claims for the top executive post.

He has intensified meetings with leaders of various political parties to help him in the prime ministerial race. The Maoist supremo has already said that he would work as per the wishes of the people. Chairman KP Sharma Oli is the unanimous candidate for prime minister from the CPN-UML. The party had presented Oli as the prime minister in the election agenda also. Among the claimants, Deuba, Oli and Dahal have already served as the prime minister over and over again.
