Presidential elections will be held in Nepal on March 9

The Prime Minister has canceled this visit because the presidential election is going to be held in Nepal on March 9, in such a situation he has decided not to leave the country. Eight political parties, including the Prachanda-led CPN-Maoist Centre, have decided to support senior Nepali Congress leader Ramchandra Poudayal for the state premier's post during the elections.

With eight political parties, Ramchandra's election to the post of President is almost certain. However, this development may lead to a political crisis for the government of Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal 'Prachanda'. Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal's party CPN-Maoist Center has decided to support Paudel, the leader of the opposition Nepali Congress, instead of supporting the candidate of KP Sharma Oli, an ally in the coalition government.
