Earlier, the party leadership had decided to accept the formation of election government under the leadership of sitting chief justice even though an overwhelming majority of the party’s central committee members had stood against it.
Among other leaders, senior party leader Nepal, who was then abroad, and General Secretary Pokharel have remained vocal opponent of CJ-headed government, a proposal floated by the UCPN (Maoist) to end the current crisis.
