The ruling coalition of five parties has decided to contest the upcoming local elections by nominating a joint candidate. However, the decision taken by the party’s top leaders at the center has disappointed the cadres of the Nepali Congress.

Local level leaders and cadres, who were dissatisfied with the party’s decision, have started to file an independent candidacy from all over the country. Meanwhile, Chitwan Congress cadres, who were dissatisfied with the decision of the coalition to elect Renu Dahal as the mayor of Bharatpur Metropolitan City, have said that they will also contest as an independent candidate.

Mohit Jung Pandey, joint secretary of Tarun Dal Chitwan, has registered his candidature for the post of mayor on the first day of registration.

Pandey said that the true Congress should be able to oppose the wrong move of the party. “My nomination for the post of Mayor is to strengthen the Congress and make them aware who are we as a congress and what does it really means to be a true congress?”,Pandey said.
