The economic development and prosperity of the country is guaranteed if the elected people's representatives rightly used the rights given by the constitution to the local levels," Oli said in the message. 

He also stated that the local level election has institutionalized democracy and the republic at the grass roots level.

What is only needed is unity among us, promotion of national dignity and a far-sighted leadership," he said. 

The former Prime Minister has also opined that the political struggle will primarily end with the holding of the election to the members of the House of Representatives and the State Assemblies on November 26 and December 7, 2017 and the country would enter the phase of economic development. He urged the people to elect through these elections honest and clean representatives who are capable of taking the country ahead towards the path of rapid economic development, of standing firmly on the side of national unity and national prestige, and of making the country stable and developed.
