Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal has reached Balkot to meet CPN-UML Chairman KP Sharma Oli on Friday. As the presidential election is approaching nearer, PM Dahal has reached Balkot to hold further discussion on the issue. A concrete decision has not been made yet on who to field for the election.

The UML leaders have been claiming that they should get the President as per the December 25 agreement in one hand.

On the other hand, the Nepali Congress leaders have been piling pressure on the Prime Minister that they should get the post of President for being the largest party in the Parliament and also for giving a vote of confidence to the CPN (Maoist Center) led government.
