UML has decided to name Bimala Ghimire from Kapilvastuki as the candidate in the election of the vice chairman of the National Assembly. Devendra Dahal, leader of the UML parliamentary party in the National Assembly, said, "She is our candidate”. During the formation of the present coalition government, the senior leaders had agreed to give the NA chairman to the Maoist Center and give the NA vice chairman to the UML.  The eight-point agreement was signed by supreme leaders of the UML, Maoist Center, Rastriya Swatantra Party and Janata Samajwadi Party. Following the election of the NA chair, the vice chair of the NA, who was from the Maoist Center, has already tendered resignation.  However, when the Ekikrit Samajwadi Party joined the coalition government, the eight-point agreement was reduced to seven points, remaining silent on the vice chair’s post.  It was rumored that the Ekikrit Samajwadi Party, led by Madhav Nepal, had claimed the vice chairman’s post as a condition for joining the new coalition government.  People’s News Monitoring Service.
