Nepali Congress Assigns Districts to Leaders for Upcoming House of Representatives Elections

Kathmandu. Vice President Bishwa Prakash Sharma, in his capacity as the coordinator of the Election Mobilization Committee for the House of Representatives elections scheduled for Falgun 21, has assigned responsibilities to leaders by designating specific districts to them.

Those receiving responsibilities also include leaders who did not participate in the special general convention held from Poush 27 to 30 last year.

The special general convention, led by then-General Secretaries Gagan Thapa and Sharma, has not been recognized by the Sher Bahadur Deuba faction, which was elected as President in the 14th General Convention, nor by the Dr. Shekhar Koirala faction.

The writ filed in the Supreme Court seeking official recognition for that convention is currently under consideration. After the Election Commission granted official status to the special general convention, Chairman Thapa had given candidate tickets to some leaders from the Deuba and Dr. Koirala factions.

To further satisfy some leaders from the two factions who were still not content, Vice President Sharma has now assigned responsibilities by designating districts on behalf of the Central Election Mobilization Committee.

The leaders included in Sharma's list are office bearers and central committee members who were part of the Deuba-led committee but did not participate in the special general convention.

Responsibilities have been assigned by Sharma to leaders including Joint General Secretary Bhimraj Angdembe, Central Committee members Min Bishwakarma, Umeshjung Rayamajhi, Jeevchiring Lama, Urmila Thapaliya, Dilman Pakhrin, Dhana Khatiwada, Gehendra Giri, Krishnakishor Ghimire, Chandrabahadur KC, Rupa BK, Rangamati Shahi, Manbahadur Nepali, Kantik Sejuwal, Bidyadevi Timilsina, Dr. Ranbahadur Rawal, and Nripa Wod, among others.

Angdembe, Bishwakarma, and Rayamajhi have been assigned responsibility for the Koshi Province; Thapaliya, Lama, Nepali, Pakhrin, and Khatiwada for Bagmati; Giri, Ghimire, KC, and BK for Lumbini; Shahi and Sejuwal for Karnali; and Timilsina, Rawal, and Wod for Sudurpaschim Province.
