Congress to field candidates in 90 federal seats

The Shekhar Koirala-led dissident group has been arguing that the party shouldn’t have settled for fewer than 100 seats.

The ruling alliance has finalised the seat-sharing agreement with all of its electoral partners. The alliance on Saturday reached an agreement with the Loktantrik Samajbadi Party, a new entrant in the alliance, setting aside eight federal parliament seats and 16 provincial seats for the outfit in the November polls.
