Prime Minister Sushila Karki has stressed the need of holding the elections to the House of Representatives on the slated date for the peace and stability in the country.

During the meeting with a delegation led by then member of the House of Representatives, Suhang Nembang, at Singha Durbar on Sunday, the PM urged the delegation to make preparations for the March 5 elections without any doubt as the incumbent government was formed to hold elections. 

"We have been carrying out activities to conduct voting. We are here to establish peace and hold elections after unusual circumstances. We have become successful in establishing peace and the rule of law in a short time," she reminded, arguing that elections pave the way for sustainable peace and stability.

Similarly, Nembang wished PM Karki the success to hold elections, according to PM Karki's Private Secretariat.

PM Karki had enquired leader Nembang on the preparations to contest in the elections. 

In response, Nembang said he had been preparing for the elections. 

Extending best wishes to Nembang, Prime Minister Karki expressed the view that now youth should come forward. 

"The elections will be held at any cost. Be prepared. Youths like you should come to the fore and lead the country to ensure a meaningful change. The hoary leaders are unable to lead the present generation abreast with smart service and similar expectations. Their experience and advice can be helpful, but youth should be in the driver's seat. Youths have courage and energy," she underscored. 

In the meeting, Nembang drew the attention of the PM to intensify the reconstruction of highways and bridges that were damaged by landslides and floods in Ilam. 

PM Karki shared that Minister for Physical Infrastructures, Kul Man Ghising, had recently conducted an onsite visit there and the government was serious on this issue.
