Asif Shah, who is on the proportional list from the National Independent Party (NISP) for the House of Representatives elections, has announced that he has withdrawn his candidacy.
Informing on social media, he has urged other people on the proportional list to withdraw their names in accordance with the sentiments of the people and party workers.
Saying that he is a person who is interested in politics but is not actively involved in politics, he has mentioned that the urge to become a country is always alive in his heart. 'I cannot choose the path of becoming an MP through the proportional list by hurting the sentiments of the people and party friends. Through this information, I announce that I have withdrawn my proportional candidacy,' he said.
Shah also stated that his decision to contest in the direct election is clear and he has also announced that he is fully ready to file his candidacy directly from Kathmandu 5.
Friends who closely evaluate the efforts made to make the union of Balen-Ravi-Kulman possible in accordance with the wishes of the general public are witnesses to this. Seeing that same effort, friends included my name in the list saying, "I should become an MP."
'I had clearly said that if I had to enter politics, I would like to stand with the people through direct elections and file my candidacy. But my friends suggested that a nationwide election campaign is necessary, so we should now move forward with the proportional system. Accordingly, I registered my candidacy under the proportional system,' he said.
He clarified that he withdrew his proportional candidacy because the news that came after that, the reactions expressed by the people, and the feelings of the RSVP workers forced him to do deep introspection.
Actor and television program host Shah was number 1 in the Muslim male cluster on the RSVP's proportional list. He is the brother of former RSVP MP Asim Shah. Before reaching a consensus, RSVP President Ravi Lamichhane and Kathmandu Metropolitan City Mayor Balendra Shah had discussions at his office.
