King Gyanendra is expected to address the nation by as late as Friday to call the political parties for the formation of an interim government. The king, with the address to the nation, is likely to appoint a prime minister who will head the interim government that would include the agitating parties as well. The parties are, however, yet to announce whether they would join in the interim government, which will hold parliamentary elections or even reinstate the dissolved parliament to resolve the crisis.
