Biratnagar, April 17
Ruling parties that have been agreed to fight the May 13 local elections together across the country as far as possible have decided to include the Rastriya Prajatantra Party also in Jhapa of Province 1.
Jhapa is the home of KP Sharma Oli, the chairman of the CPN-UML, the party that the ruling alliance wants to corner as much as possible. Likewise, it is also home of the RPP chairman Rajendra Lingden. The RPP apparently is the second biggest political force in the district after the UML.
Realising this, the ruling alliance and the RPP have decided to partner up in their bid to downsize the UML, according to leaders.
As per the agreement, in Oli’s hometown in Damak, the RPP will field a mayor candidate on behalf of the alliance, according to RPP Province 1 Chairman Ram Thapa.
