Nepali Congress General Secretary Gagan Kumar Thapa has dismissed the possibility of an electoral alliance with other parties in the upcoming local governments and parliamentary elections.
Thapa said except in the elections of National Assembly members which is taking place this month, there will not be any alliances. Speaking at a program in Kathmandu he said, “NC will fight three-tier of elections alone. There will not be any electoral alliances.”
Thapa’s statement comes at a time when CPN (Maoist Center) Pushpa Kamal Dahal is seeking an electoral alliance with NC in the upcoming elections. There are strong sentiments among the second-rung leaders of NC that the party should not make alliances with other parties.
