Unity deal: Nepal gets 5 more days
Nepal's president yesterday gave rival political parties a third extension to his deadline for forming a national unity government to lead the country into elections next year.
Nepal's main parties have failed to strike a deal on the political make-up of a proposed new cabinet, despite being given 13 extra days after missing the original November 29 target.
Talks have stalled over who should lead the new cabinet, with the opposition rejecting the incumbent PM, Baburam Bhattarai, and the premier refusing to step aside.
