Appeal for making their candidates victorious

KATHMANDU: The ruling coalition is set to convene a meeting at the Prime Minister’s Official Residence in Baluwatar this morning, focusing on strategic deliberations surrounding the upcoming National Assembly election and the Truth and Reconciliation bill.

Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal is actively pursuing the bill’s passage in the forthcoming parliamentary session and is engaged in garnering support from both ruling and opposition factions.

Despite being introduced in parliament last year, the bill has faced prolonged deliberations and has been a key priority for PM Dahal.

Previously, the ruling coalition had approached the main opposition party, CPN-UML, seeking endorsement for the bill and offering certain National Assembly seats in return.

However, the UML rejected the proposal and declared its intention to independently contest the election against the ruling coalition.

The National Assembly election is scheduled for January 25.

Meanwhile, the parties in the ruling coalition have called for making the coalition candidates victorious in the upcoming National Assembly election. Issuing an appeal on behalf of the ruling coalition partners, the parties stated that the candidates fielded for the upper house election are the common candidates.

"We have formed this political alliance for the protection of the Constitution of Nepal and strengthening of the democratic republican system. Attainment of sustainable peace, good governance, development, prosperity and social justice is our common goal," reads the joint appeal.

It further reads: "Political stability is the precondition for the country's progress. The coalition is committed to the consolidation of the democratic, republican system, political stability, durable peace, good governance and prosperity, and will remain sincerely active for the same."

Cautioning against the possibility of various activities toward weakening the coalition in the course of the election, the joint appeal states, "This election is also an opportunity to further ensure political stability in the country by making the alliance more organized and stronger. Therefore, it is necessary to firmly stand in support of the coalition. We appeal to all the voters to vote for the coalition candidates and make them victorious with overwhelming votes in the election."

The ruling coalition has fielded Krishna Prasad Sitaula, Champa Devi Karki, Ananda Prasad Dhungana, Puja Chaudhary, Bishnu Devi Pudasaini, Jit Jung Basnet, Shree Krishna Prasad Adhikari and Ghanshyam Rijal for the national assembly election. 

Similarly, Manarupa Sharma, Kiran Babu Shrestha, Padam Bahadur Pariyar, Bishnu Kumari Sapkota, Jhakku Prasad Subedi, Krishna Bahadur Rokaya, Sabitri Malla, Bishnu Bahadur Bishwokarma, Renu Chand, Baldev Bohara and Narayan Datta Bhatt are the candidates on behalf the coalition.

Prime Minister and CPN (Maoist Centre) Chair Pushpa Kamal Dahal, Nepali Congress President Sher Bahadur Deuba, CPN (Unified Socialist) Chair Madhav Kumar Nepal, the Janata Samajwadi Party Chair Upendra Yadav, Nagarik Unmukti Party Chairperson Ranjita Shrestha, Loktantrik Samajwadi Party Chair Mahantha Thakur and Rastriya Janamorcha Chair Chitra Bahadur KC have signed on the joint appeal.
