KATHMADU, March 30: The Nepali Congress (NC) has announced its candidates for the upcoming by-elections in Chitwan-2 and Tanahun-1. Jeetnarayan Shrestha and Govinda Bhattari have been nominated as the party's candidates for the respective seats.

The decision was made during a performance committee meeting of the NC held recently. The by-elections are being held to fill the vacant seats in the House of Representatives after the Supreme Court nullified the membership of Rabi Lamichhane, Chairperson of Rastriya Swatantra Party, in the House due to an invalid citizenship status, and Ram Chandra Poudel, who was elected from Tanahun-1, was elected as the President of the country.
