The main opposition UML has made public its proposal to amend the constitution. In an eight-point proposal, the UML recommends the creation of an all-party election government for free and fair elections, and a national government during times of economic crisis and natural disasters. It also recommends forming a cabinet from 10 percent of the members of parliament, strengthening local government and clearing the confusion about the prime minister's power to dissolve parliament.

The country's largest left party has also proposed strengthening the Commission for the Investigation of the Abuse of Authority and creating an effective system to regularly investigate and monitor the assets of high-ranking public figures. In its other seven-point proposal on social and economic issues, the UML seeks to empower dalits, minorities and women, strengthen social justice, improve education and health, increase employment end the politicisation of security forces, and resolve the problems of citizenship in the national interest. Now if only words became deeds so easily.
