KATHMANDU, April 25 - Nepali Congress (NC) said Friday it would suggest that Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala should again head the next government.

The proposal from senior NC leaders comes at a time when the Maoist leadership seems enthusiastic to lead the new government after establishing itself as the main party from the April 10 Constituent Assembly elections.

However, PM Koirala did not confirm the proposal at a programme in the capital today.

Meanwhile, senior NC leader Sher Bahadur Deuba said that all the parties should accept the leadership of PM Koirala.

Sher Bahadur Deuba expressed his opinion at a tea reception organised by NC leader Prakash Man Singh, who was elected to the 601 seat CA from Kathmandu constituency-1 under the first-past-the-post electoral system.

Other elected NC leaders from various parts of the country, party activists and well-wishers were also present at the reception.
