Mahantha Thakur For PM

The Maoists will not agree to any NC or UML person. The NC and the UML will not agree to any Maoist name. But none of those three parties have said they will not agree to the Mahantha Thakur name. Perhaps efforts should be made to get all parties to coalesce around the Mahantha Thakur name.
 
Prez to extend deadline if parties fail to forge consensus

Five days on, consensus on new prime ministerial candidate remains elusive as ruling parties have rejected to give government leadership to both Nepali Congress and CPN-UML, the two main opposition parties. The ruling UCPN (Maoist) has announced that they were ready to offer alternative candidate from within the ruling alliance if there was no consensus on Baburam Bhattarai, but not ready to give away leadership to the opposition parties.

A Non Political PM?

The NC and the UML will stay opposed to the Baburam name, as that of any other Maoist. And the Maoists will not accept any NC person for the same. Prachanda's push for the Mahantha Thakur name is interesting but not serious. He knows the NC and the UML will not go for it. That might be Prachanda's way of further cementing his alliance with the Madhesi parties.

The president says he will not take over. I think we might be heading towards a non political person leading a team of technocrats. It was done once successfully in Bangladesh.

Who might that be? Devendra Raj Pandey?

Maoist leaders also say Dahal is almost sure that chances of striking a political understanding to form a consensus government under Bhattarai's leadership is almost nill and that the party should mull over another alternative within the current coalition. “Another candidate from the UCPN (Maoist) other than PM Bhattarai is not possible because it will create a rift inside the party,” said another leader close to Dahal. To avoid intra-party rift, Dahal is likely to support a candidate from Madhes-based parties.
