Nepali Congress and CPN-UML Leaders Vow Serious Internal Review Following Election Results

Kathmandu. Leaders from the Nepali Congress and CPN-UML have stated that a serious review will be conducted within their respective parties regarding the election results.

Speaking at an event in Kathmandu on Friday, they mentioned that the results of the House of Representatives election were unexpected and that a serious review would take place within the party. They added that it is not appropriate to question the party leadership immediately over the election outcome.

At the event, Nepali Congress leader Dr. Dila Sangraula stated that the party would accept the mandate given by the people and that serious discussions would be held within the party regarding the elections.

She mentioned that the Central Committee, led by President Gagan Thapa, would take moral responsibility for the defeat in the elections, but resignation by the President was not the current option.

Sangraula expressed the view that the party would provide constructive support to the upcoming government.

Similarly, CPN-UML leader Sher Bahadur Tamang stated that no one could escape blame by solely holding the leadership accountable for the election results. He said that a serious discussion would be held within the party regarding the elections, and they would move forward by correcting shortcomings to advance as a strong force in the future.

Tamang expressed suspicion that the report of the investigation commission regarding the incidents during the 'Genji' movement had been tampered with, stating that if acts of revenge were carried out, it would be unacceptable. He demanded that all corruption cases be investigated, clarifying that if CPN-UML leaders are proven corrupt, the party would not shield such leaders.
