In light of recent developments surrounding the passage of the national budget and ongoing signs of bad faith among certain political actors, the National Working Committee (NWC) has reaffirmed its commitment to continued engagement with all Government of National Unity (GNU) partners and relevant political parties.

In a statement issued following a closed-door meeting this week, the NWC expressed concern over the challenges that have accompanied the budget process, particularly the delays and discord that have marked negotiations. Despite these setbacks, the committee emphasized the importance of dialogue and coordination across the political spectrum to ensure the functionality of the GNU and the stability of governance.

“The NWC has resolved that it is necessary to maintain consistent and constructive engagement with all GNU partners and political stakeholders,” the statement read. “This approach is essential to address the immediate governance challenges and uphold the commitments made under the framework of the GNU.”

The budget impasse has drawn widespread public and political attention, with several parties voicing frustrations over procedural disagreements and what has been described as a breakdown in mutual trust. However, the NWC did not apportion blame or name specific parties, instead choosing to focus on the path forward.

As the GNU continues to navigate complex political dynamics, the NWC’s reaffirmed position signals a deliberate effort to preserve unity and maintain institutional dialogue. The committee concluded its statement by underscoring the need for political maturity and responsibility in advancing the country’s democratic and developmental objectives.
