Neupane to chair State Affairs Committee

The Congress reportedly tried to reappoint Khatiwada and some other names came up but consensus eluded them.

Nepali Congress lawmaker Ishwari Devi Neupane, who had earlier contested the post of Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives on the party’s recommendation but was defeated, has been unanimously elected chair of the State Affairs and Good Governance Committee of the House of Representatives.
