Bibeksheel Sajha Party Nepal will vote for Nepali Congress (NC) in the upcoming National Assembly elections scheduled for February 7 claiming that NC fielded Radheshyam Adhikari from Province 3 on its proposal.
The party that has three provincial assembly members in Province 3 will vote for NC candidate Adhikari. "The candidates selected by other parties in the province are baffling. We discussed with NC as we also have votes in the province and NC looks likely to win one seat," a Bibkesheel Sajha leader told Setopati. "We have decided to vote for NC as the party fielded Radheshyam Adhikari on our proposal," the leader claimed.
The two parties are still holding discussion to take formal decision on that.
Bibeksheel and Sajha parties, that had contested the local elections separately, had unified before the federal and provincial assembly elections. The two parties did not win any seats in the local elections but the united party won three seats in the provincial assembly from Province 3 through proportional representation (PR) system.
