NC leaders said discussions are underway to support Federal Socialist Forum Nepal (FSFN) leader Ashok Rai  in Sunsari 1 and put NC leader Meen Bahadur Bishwakarma in the proportional list.


There are opinions within NC that it would be easy for NC candidates to secure victory in the remaining three constituencies in Sunsari district if the party could secure FSFN support there.
