Mukul Dhakal, the spokesperson for  RSP, said that efforts are being made to field economist Wagle for the by-election in Tanahun.

We are approaching him on this matter. He is very positive," Dhakal told Republica

Wagle had drafted the election manifesto of the Nepali Congress for the November 20 elections. 

Initially, the NC had announced Swarnim Wagle as the party’s candidate for the general election from Chitwan-2.
