The eighth round of voting on Sunday is also unlikely to elect a new Nepali prime minister as various political parties commanding over 400 seats in the House have announced that they will not vote for any of the two prime ministerial candidates, according to a Republica daily report. The Unified Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) (UCPN-M) commanding 237 votes in the 601-seat House and Communist Party Nepal-Unified Marxist Leninist (CPN-UML), which has 108 lawmakers, have jointly urged Speaker Subas Nemwang to end the ongoing election process. Likewise, three Madhes-based parties have also decided to stay neutral in the voting on Sunday. UCPN-M leaders also said they would press Nemwang to end the ongoing voting process at the meeting of Business Advisory Committee of parliament that will be held just ahead of the voting Sunday. 'As a majority of parliamentarians have already decided not to participate in the ongoing election process, we will request the Speaker to terminate it and start a new process. If he doesn't act accordingly, we will walk out from the voting,' UCPN-M Vice- Chairman Narayankaji Shrestha told the daily on Sunday. Of the two candidates, only Ram Chandra Paudel of the Nepali Congress (NC) is effectively in the race as UCPN-M Chairman Prachanda has announced to withdraw his candidacy earlier. Speaker Nemwang has said he can't terminate the process as long as any one of the candidates remains in the field. He has urged the parties to reach a consensus in this regard. NC leaders have ruled out withdrawal of Paudel's candidacy as long as there is no change in the current state of affairs. They have also turned down outright the proposal from UCPN-M and CPN- UML leaders to terminate the process by amending the parliamentary regulations.
