Women politicians from Madhesh accuse party brass of bias in selecting candidates

Nepotism and monetary influence have held sway in candidate selection in all major parties, they say.

Women politicians from the Madhesh Province have expressed their grievances over the selection of candidates for the upcoming federal and provincial elections scheduled for November 20. Arguing that party leaderships sidelined genuine politicians who are women, a cross-party group of women leaders complained that the leadership offered tickets only to the well-connected and rich individuals.
