Nepali Congress Identifies Five Key Reasons for Defeat in Federal Elections

Kathmandu. The Nepali Congress has determined five reasons behind its defeat in the Federal Parliament elections held on Falgun 21.

Spokesperson Devraj Chalise informed that the two-day Central Working Committee meeting concluded that the election loss was due to these five reasons.

The election loss reasons were finalized after amending and passing the preliminary review of the election results presented by Vice President Bishwaprakash Sharma during the meeting.
The Central Committee decided on the five reasons after discussing the 27-point preliminary review report presented by Vice President Sharma in the meeting.

According to the decision of the Central Committee, the five reasons for the defeat are as follows:

• Weakening of organizational strength due to extreme factionalism and internal non-cooperation.
• Results contrary to public expectations in the performance of the coalition government.
• Increased public anger due to structural weaknesses of past governance systems (including 32 government changes in 35 years).
• Expression of dissatisfaction towards old political forces by the youth movement.
• Reactive benefit accruing to new forces due to algorithmic influence in the digital age.

Spokesperson Chalise informed that the meeting determined that all these reasons were structural, systemic, and circumstantial, not personal.
