After the political parties had selected CA members under proportional representation and submitted their list to the Election Commission, a dispute arose on whether the chairperson of the Council of Ministers Khil Raj Regmi or the President Ram Baran Yadav should call the first sitting of the CA. after a long delay, the chairperson of the Council of Ministers called the meeting at the end. Though the major political parties tried to take ownership of the decisions taken by the first CA, the proposal did not get into the CA as there was no consensus among all the parties in the CA.

The parliamentary meeting after the CA meeting began the process of government formation. However, it was not certain on under whose leadership the government would be formed. The selection of proportional representation CA members led to internal conflicts and dissatisfaction in almost all the parties. The constitution-drafting process could not start immediately though the leaders had committed to the draft it within one year due to the delay in formation of the government and internal conflicts in the parties. Instead, the process lingered on because of the inter-party and intra-party disputes.
