The parties which had claiming rigged elections finally agreed to sit in the Constituent Assembly after several attempts. Amidst extensive protests and dissatisfaction, the political parties were able to finalise the list of candidates for the proportional representation. At the same time, this also created internal rifts within the parties. In addition, a dispute arose about whether the prime minister or the President should call the meeting of the Constituent Assembly. Nepali Congress and UML could not agree in principle on a power-sharing deal according to the new mandate. In the name of consensus, the list of proportional candidates could not be finalised in time, which further postponed the CA meeting. without consensus among the parties and delay in CA meeting, new government could not be formed. In the absence of timely consensus among the parties to take the process forward, public excitement seen during the CA election began to wane.
