Ruling parties near seat sharing for Nov 20 election

September 9, Kathmandu: The ruling five political parties have neared the seat sharing for the November 20 election to the provincial and federal parliaments.

Taskforce secretary Keshav Raj Joshi said the ruling coalition held two-party and multi-party meetings at Prime Minister’s residence, Baluwatar on Thursday, which largely narrowed down the contention.

The seat allocation taskforce has prepared the draft on seat sharing by taking into account the votes the parties got in the last election and some political issues.
