Former FNCCI President Rana Urges Consensus-Based Leadership Election Over Contested Polls

Kathmandu. Former President of the Federation of Nepalese Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FNCCI), Bhawani Rana, has emphasized the need to select leadership through consensus rather than through elections in the upcoming polls.

She made these remarks while addressing the program organized by the Anjan Shrestha group to announce the candidacy for office bearers and executive members for the FNCCI's upcoming 60th Annual General Meeting and Election.

Rana stressed that the strong unity of the private sector is the current necessity. 'Today's message is clear—the strong unity of the private sector is the need of the hour. In the current context, only cooperation, trust, and coordination within the private sector can pave the way for sustainable economic development.'

She stated that consensus, maturity, and a shared vision are extremely necessary for the upcoming leadership positions in the Federation. She expressed confidence that capable, inclusive, and consensus-based leadership will further strengthen the private sector and contribute positively to the national economy.

FNCCI President Chandra Prasad Dhakal urged the candidates to set aside ego, come to an understanding, and select a consensus-based leadership, noting that election results sometimes bring unpleasant divisions.
