Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal and CPN-UML Chairman KP Sharma Oli held a meeting at the former’s official residence in Baluwatar to discuss Cabinet expansion. Though a ruling coalition meeting was called today, it could not be held due to the busy schedule of the leaders, the Prime Minister’s Secretariat said. Home Minister and Rastriya Swatantra Party Chairman Rabi Lamichhane is in Chitwan while leaders of other parties are also busy with their party work.

That is why, only two leaders held a meeting today.

After winning the vote of confidence, Prime Minister Dahal and UML Chairman Oli are working on sharing the ministries and giving full shape to the Cabinet. The duo had held a meeting in Balkot on Wednesday. They discussed various issues including elections of Speaker, Deputy Speaker, President and Vice-President.
