Congress, UML & Biplav alliance against Maoists in Thawang

KATHMANDU: MAY. 2 – In many municipalities, the ruling Nepali Congress and the Maoist Center have formed alliances against the CPN-UML. In Rolpa’s Thawang, however, there seems to be the opposite. Not only the Congress and UML but also the Communist Party of Nepal ‘Biplav’ has formed an alliance against the Maoist center.

Five candidates, including Congress, UML, and Biplav-led independents, withdrew their candidacies, giving rise to the formation of the alliance. “We have decided to withdraw the presidential nomination by supporting an independent candidate in Thawang,” Congress treasurer Bam Bahadur Roka stated.
