Former Prime Minister and Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) leader Pushpa Kamal Dahal speaks during a public rally in Katmandu, Nepal, Sunday, May 17, 2009. An alliance of 22 political parties claimed Sunday to have enough support to form a new coalition government in Nepal and called for a vote to elect its candidate as the new prime minister, officials said. Dahal resigned as prime minister May 4 to protest the president's rejection of his ouster of the army chief, who had resisted the integration of the former rebel fighters into the military as required under a 2006 peace agreement.
