KATHMANDU – Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP) has proposed a federal republican model with constitutional president and an executive prime minister elected from the House as its form of governance in its manifesto, made public on Monday.

Along with that the party has proposed a bicameral legislature parliament and has proposed that the federal model will have three levels of governance– central government, provincial government and the local government.

The manifesto has proposed for restructuring the nation into 7 federal provinces based on capacity, identity, geography and historical background of the states- two in Madhesh and five in hilly and mountain region. The demarcation of these states, the manifesto says, will be decided through discussions with other political parties.

The party has also pledge to ensure voting rights, regular election, mixed electoral system, complete press freedom and independent judiciary in the constitution to be drafted.

The party also said that the major political parties in Nepal failed to forge a consensus due to lack of seriousness to the country.

Party Chairman Kamal Thapa, organizing a press meet today, warned that the country would face a new phase of conflict if the transition continued more.

He accused the ruling UCPN-Maoist of unnecessarily prolonging the government and the opposition concentrating only on the ouster of the present government.

Election was impossible as long as the present government existed, he said, demanding an apolitical government led by an independent person.

According to him, the party has planned to picket all district administration offices across the country on February 10 as part of pressure to other parties for the election within April
