We might have to request people to contest elections on Nepali Congress ticket

The killing of 19 protesters on September 8 was the biggest suppression of democracy in the history of democratic Nepal.

They discussed the party’s general convention, the Gen Z movement, the erstwhile Oli government, the current interim government, and the way forward.
