Nepali Congress Bars Members from Campaigning Outside Their Assigned Wards

Kathmandu. The Nepali Congress has established a policy prohibiting leaders and workers assigned responsibilities from February 1 to 21 from leaving their own ward to campaign in another ward.

This provision is included in the 'Nepali Congress Election Operation Directive 082,' which was passed by the working committee's virtual meeting held on Sunday morning. This matter is addressed in Clause Number 21 of the directive.

 With the commitment of 'My 21 Days for February 21,' the phrase 'Whoever has the positional responsibility there, they will work there' has been adopted for the period from February 1 to 21.

The Election Operation Committee, coordinated by Vice President Bishwaprakash Sharma, has formulated this policy so that representatives assigned specific responsibilities in specific locations by the center, province, district, and constituency, after completing their tasks there, will return to their respective districts, constituencies, municipalities, and wards, while all others will remain in their own wards to create an atmosphere in favor of the party's candidates.

Vice President Sharma had previously stated in public programs that the policy being formulated would require people to focus on ensuring the victory of party candidates in their own wards rather than engaging in rhetoric in other wards. This provision has been included in the directive prepared under Sharma's leadership and passed by the working committee's virtual meeting.

The directive explicitly states that active members of one ward should not go to another ward and must be deployed in their own wards with the slogan 'We will win our ward.' The directive also mentions that members affiliated with all the party's sister and well-wisher organizations must fulfill their responsibilities accordingly.
