Ruling alliance to strike power-sharing deal only after Dahal secures trust vote

Leaders say they are focussed on electing alliance’s candidates in the presidential polls.

The much-awaited power-sharing deal among ruling parties will only be struck after Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal wins a vote of trust after the elections to the vice president scheduled for March 14. Since more parties are likely to join the eight-party alliance, the process of power-sharing deal will be delayed further, said party leaders.
