Inaugurating the International Chess Competition in Ilam on Tuesday, the former speaker said that the country would not get an outlet before the next elections to the CA. He added the interim constitution should be amended by forging consensus among the political parties at early as possible. Nembang expressed serious concerns to the political uncertainty and constitutional vacuum which is likely to be surfaced after the completion of the tenure of commissioners at the constitutional bodies and Chief Justice by mid-December. Stating that the country has moved toward difficulties day after day due to lack of people´s representatives, he stressed on the need of taking initiatives to form a national consensus government at the earliest.
