The voting process for the Constitution Amendment Bill (second amendment) has begun at the Legislature-Parliament on Monday. CPN (ML) has boycotted the voting, sources confirmed.
The voting process commenced after the 50 proposals to amend the bill registered by various political parties were rejected by a majority.
Earlier, a total of 54 lawmakers took part in the deliberations of the bill that aims to address demands put forth by the agitation Madhes-centric parties. The House began clause-wise discussions on the bill on August 16.
In the 592-member House, 395 votes are required to pass the amendment bill.
The main opposition CPN-UML and Rastriya Prajatantra Party have decided to vote against the amendment.
