Party rivals for strict vetting of candidates as Deuba wants Sitaula in upper house

The Koirala camp is opposed to fielding candidates who lost last parliamentary polls.

The election for the National Assembly scheduled for January 25 will be another litmus test for Nepali Congress chief Sher Bahadur Deuba. As promised earlier, Deuba is almost prepared to field party leader Krishna Prasad Sitaula, who aspires to enter the upper house from the Koshi Province.
