Will Majdoor Kisan Party hold its bastion?

Party’s narrow focus is eroding its voter base. Yet, it is expected to win Bhaktapur-1 seat.

Last Friday, a man and a woman at a grocery shop in Changunarayan-3 got talking about the elections just two weeks away. “The Nepal Majdoor Kisan Party will sweep the polls in our constituency,” the woman said. “Had the party won the local election in our ward, the face of our place would have changed.”
