Kathmandu: The chairpersons of four major parties in the Ruling Alliance have urged the electorate to make the Alliance’s candidates victorious in the election nationwide for the institutional development of the democratic republic in accordance with the spirit of the constitution.
The election to the Member of House of Representatives and Province Assembly is going o be held throughout the country on November 20 in a single phase.
Issuing a joint statement on behalf the Alliance today, the leaders of the four parties have called on the voters to take the general election as a national festival and take part in the voting. They appealed for making the candidates of the Left-Democratic Alliance victorious in the election.
Prime Minister and Nepali Congress president Sher Bahadur Deuba, CPN (Maoist Centre) chairperson Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’, CPN (Unified Socialist) chairperson Madhav Kumar Nepal and Rastriya Janamorcha chairperson Chitra Bahadur KC issued the joint statement.
In the statement, they have said that there was a wave of nationwide public support in favour of the Alliance in course of the election campaign itself and this has enthused the leaders and cadres.
“It is known to all that the present Alliance had to be formed in Asar 2078 BS against the then government after it took several authoritarian and regressive steps by becoming surrounded in corruption and dissolving the House of Representatives twice violating the constitution, laws, rules and procedures, instead of providing vaccines to the citizens suffering from the corona pandemic,” reads the joint statement.
Stating that the present government conducted the local elections in a free, fair and credible manner in a period of one and half years and in the local elections also the parties in the Alliance had collaborated, the four leaders said that the Alliance was together at one place in this election as well.
The commitment papers and election manifestos have already been unveiled with the goal of preventing any kind of assault of the constitution and of uplifting the nation to the status of developing country by completing the development infrastructures as early as possible, the leaders have reminded in their joint appeal.
They have stated that it is natural for all the parties to seek votes towards the proportional election system as the alliance is meant only for the first-past-the-post elections. It will not in any way undermine the aspiration of the alliance. The future government would be formed through a clear majority of the Alliance and it will give political stability as per the spirit of the constitution.
Noting that the results of this election should expose and defeat the coalition of the ‘dissolutionist and regressive’ sides, the four leaders have urged all the voters to make the common candidates of the Alliance victorious in the election.
