Since visiting New Delhi, India for the 12th South Asian Peace Initiative (SAPI) at the end of January, Hon. Ek Nath’s name as a possible consensus Prime Minister candidate has surfaced in a news agency report, on the Reporters Nepal website and in The Universal Times (a weekly newspaper with nationwide circulation).
