NC PP leader election delayed

KATHMANDU, June 12: The election for choosing the parliamentary party leader in the Nepali Congress has been postponed "indefinitely" citing the death of party leader Shailaja Acharya. The election was scheduled for Sunday, the party said in a statement.



The party has not been able to hold the election of its parliamentary party even 14 months after the election of the Constituent Assembly due to its internal conflict over who should be its leader in the parliament.
