Nepali Congress said that the meeting of the Central Working Committee will decide whether to forge alliance with the parties of ruling alliance in the local level elections.

Party President and Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba has called the meeting of the Central Working Committee at the party’s central office for 2 pm on Friday.

Party spokesperson Prakash Sharan Mahat said that the meeting would decide whether to forge an electoral alliance or not.

“The meeting will decide whether or not to forge an electoral alliance,” Mahat said. “All the parties’ objective is to win more seats in the elections,” he further said.

Saying that the party leaders and cadres have been indulging in the debate whether or not to forge the electoral alliance, he said that there is no need to engage in such a debate.

He said that the party leaders have differing views on whether to forge alliance with the parties of ruling alliance or not.

But, Prime Minister Deuba has already told CPN (Maoist Centre) Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal and CPN (Unified Socialist) Chairman Madhav Nepal that he would take the decision whether or not to forge an electoral alliance by holding discussions with the party leaders.
