KATHMANDU, Oct 5 (Reuters) - Nepal's constituent assembly elections will be delayed, after the the ruling coalition failed to break a political deadlock with Maoist former rebels, a leading government minister said.

"Seven political parties have recommended to the prime minister to delay the elections for now," Peace and Reconstruction Minister Ram Chandra Poudel told Reuters.

"The prime minister will formally request the election commission to postpone the vote."
