Kathmandu, Nepal: It is likely that the country would get new Prime Minister by Sunday.
The Secretariat of the Legislature-Parliament has published the election schedule for the post of prime minister, which will begin from 11 am on Sunday.
According to the notice published by the legislature parliament, any member of the legislature parliament willing to contest the elections can register his/her candidacy for the post of prime minister from 11 am to 4 pm on Saturday at the Parliament Secretariat.
The final list of prime ministerial candidates will be published at 4:3 pm to precede the selection process through the majority voting. As per the constitutional provision, any member of the parliament has to garner majority to be elected as the Prime Minister.
It is likely that Nepali Congress President Sher Bahadur Deuba would be elected as the new Prime Minister because Deuba is contesting in the post of Prime Minister from the backing of CPN Maoist Center, an ally of the incumbent government.
Similarly, it is also likely that main opposition party CPN UML is preparing to field its vice chairman Bam Dev Gautam as the candidate for the post of Prime Minister.
