RSP defends Thapa’s candidacy for Rupandehi-3 after polygamy controversy

Party leaders argue Thapa had already divorced his first wife and that there was no point in politicising his private affair.

The Rastriya Swatantra Party on Sunday selected Lekh Jung Thapa as its candidate for Rupandehi-3 by-election. Thapa was selected through a primary election conducted last Friday and Saturday.
