NRNA Presidential Aspirant Sherchan Vows to Unify Organization Amidst Factional Concerns

Kathmandu. Non-Resident Nepali Association (NRNA) presidential aspirant Robin Sherchan stated that he is vying for leadership to unite the NRNA under one umbrella. Speaking at a virtual program organized by the Kaski International Coordination Council and Kaski Pokhara Society Japan on Sunday, Sherchan expressed concern that the recent trend of forming parallel committees and creating divisions has weakened the issues concerning Non-Resident Nepalis.

Sherchan said, 'We are now on the verge of the 12th General Convention. I have realized that the organization has been severely undermined by past misunderstandings regarding the election process and repeated splits. In such a situation, my first priority is to create an environment where all friends can be accommodated in the same organization with a positive mindset.'

He emphasized that the organization must move forward with honest leadership and positive change, rising above personal interests.

Sherchan also informed that during his election campaign, he will tour New York, Dallas, Toronto, Europe, and Middle Eastern countries starting this Friday to interact with Nepalis scattered across the globe, and he is scheduled to return to Nepal by March 8.

During the program, current Vice President Ramsharan Simkhada, who is a candidate for the post of General Secretary, stated that the right person must take the next leadership role to save the organization.

At the event, Shiva Baniya, Chairman of the Kaski International Coordination Council, and Kamal Bastola, Chairman of Kaski Pokhara Society Japan, along with Pravin Gurung, Agnidhar Devkota, Kedar Kunwar, Tilak Chalise, Sabin Poudel, Tirtha Bhandari, Anju Bhandari, Sanjeev Shrestha, Rabin Bajracharya, Santosh Timalsina, Bimal Subedi, Baba Rajeshwari Thapa, Rajendra Gautam, and Mohan Ghale, expressed solidarity with Robin Sherchan's candidacy and extended their best wishes.
