Nepali Congress leader Krishna Prasad Sitaula filed his nomination for the National Assembly election from Koshi Province.

He filed his nomination for the member of the National Assembly by reaching the Biratnagar-based Office of the Election Office on Monday morning.

Sitaula’s nomination was proposed by Pradeep Sunuwar and seconded by Himal Karki.

The Congress on Sunday nominated Sitaula as the candidate of the party in the National Assembly election unanimously.

A meeting of the Parliamentary Board held at the Party Central Office finalized the candidates of the election.

Sitaula, who had already served as the General Secretary of the Nepali Congress, had lost in the last House of Representatives election from Jhapa-3.

Rastriya Prajatantra Party Chairman Rajendra Lingden with the support of the CPN-UML defeated Sitaula, a candidate of the ruling coalition.
