Opposition faction’s aspirants for post of party’s Prez fail to attend meeting summoned to select common candidate

KATHMANDU, Dec 8: Factions within the ruling Nepali Congress, one headed by Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba and other by leader Ram Chandra Poudel, are currently holding discussions to select candidates from their side for upcoming 14th General Convention of the party.

Even if leader Shashank Koirala withdraws his decision to file their candidacy for the post of President of the party, and another leader Ram Chandra Poudel is soon to follow, leaders Prakash Man Singh and Shekar Koirala have been reluctant to vie for the post.
