A meeting held on Friday between the UCPM(M), NC, UML and SLMM has decided that consensus over the next government to oversee elections will be made in a 'package deal'.
On Wednesday, the parties had decided to go for new elections after they could not agree on reviving the Constituent Assembly.
At an earlier meeting between its senior leaders, the NC decided that the current government was unfit to oversee the elections.
Further talks between the four parties are scheduled for Sunday.
