CPN (Unified Socialist) chairperson Madhav Kumar Nepal has said that the party will not rush to take the decision about joining the government. As Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal prepares to seek the vote of confidence on Jan 10, Nepal is under pressure to make a decision.

PM Dahal on Wednesday urged Nepal to support the government. Nepal, however, said his party has not taken any decision on the issue. The party views the political situation as foggy and is not in a hurry to make a decision. We will wait for the policies and program of the government and decide, Nepal said.

The party has failed to emerge as a national party but has 10 members in the Parliament. Nepal is reportedly unhappy that Dahal joined hands with CPN-UML to form the government. The UML is Nepal's former party, which he left after falling out with its Chairman KP Oli. Dahal has expedited talks with parties to win the floor test, and it is important for him that Nepal's party is behind him.
