KATHMANDU, August 12: The Task Force formed by the ruling five-party coalition to allocate seats during the upcoming Provincial Assembly and federal poll has discussed various modalities to share seats. 


Positive discussion was held about various criteria for electoral alliance among the ruling parties in the upcoming general elections, said Secretary of the Task Force Advocate Keshav Raj Joshi after the meeting held at the Prime Minister's residence, Baluwatar.  


It was also discussed if the election of the House of Representatives and the Provincial Assembly held in 2074 and the local level election held in May earlier this year could be considered as a basis for electoral alliance. The Task Force will come up with a blueprint for the distribution of seats in the election and submit it to the top leaders of the alliance, Joshi said.
