The NCP has finalized its candidates for the National Assembly elections to be held on Magh 11. Although 2 seats are vacant from Gandaki Province, the NCP will field a candidate for only 1.
The party will field its own candidates in the National Assembly after sharing seats with the Congress-UML, but the NCP will field its own candidates in all the seats as it could not agree on the number of seats at the last minute.
On Tuesday, the central consultative meeting had given the responsibility of finalizing the candidates to NCP coordinator Pushpa Kamal Dahal and co-coordinator Madhav Kumar Nepal. Leader Prakash Jwala informed that there was no alliance after the Congress-UML refused to give 4 seats.
On Tuesday, a rough agreement was reached on giving 7 seats to the Congress, 7 to the UML, 3 to the NCP and 1 seat to the LOSPA/JSP. However, the agreement could not be reached after the demand for a minimum of 4 seats was demanded to balance the internal equation within the NCP.
Then, on Wednesday morning, a new agreement was reached that the Congress will get 9 seats, the UML will get 8 seats and the JSP/LOSPA will get 1 seat. The name of Mahant Thakur has been recommended by the LOSPA.
