Deuba struggles to expand Cabinet, more so by issues in his own party
Kathmandu Post
Kathmandu, July 21 -- As Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba begins consultations to expand his five-member Cabinet, he faces an uphill task with demands and complexities of the constituencies that supported him during the confidence vote in Parliament on Sunday.
The 165 lawmakers that voted for him belong to a disparate group.
Besides the Nepali Congress, lawmakers from the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist Centre), the two factions of the Janata Samajbadi Party that has more or less split, a section of the main opposition CPN-UML, and Rastriya Janamorcha supported Deuba.
