Prominent Leaders Absent from Election Field in Koshi Province, Creating Opportunities for New Faces

Biratnagar. Many influential leaders from Koshi Province, who have maintained a strong presence in parliamentary practice, including former prime ministers, former ministers, and top party officials, are absent from the electoral arena this time.

The absence of heavyweight candidates from Nepali Congress, CPN-UML, and CPN (Maoist Centre) in all 14 districts of Koshi Province has provided opportunities for newcomers in this election. While some leaders have voluntarily taken a break, others have been pushed out of the electoral race due to internal party equations or disputes over ticket distribution.
