Voting for the House of Representatives ( HoR) and provincial assembly elections is slated for November 20 in a single phase. Bhattarai further said that the current coalition was formed after the federal democratic republic and constitution achieved through a long struggle and sacrifices of Nepali were attacked.
"We have the right and able leaders in the coalition who can deliver development. I am confident that the people of Kathmandu will elect coalition candidates for the greater good of the country," he said.
Coalition candidate and Nepali Congress's former general-secretary and former Deputy Prime Minister Prakashman Singh is contesting the HoR election from Kathmandu-1 while Deependra Shrestha and Surajchandra Lamicchane are contesting for PA elections (1) and (2) respectively.
