NC President appeals for making democratic candidates victorious for strong foundation of democracy

Kathmandu, April 28 (RSS): Prime Minister and Nepali Congress President Sher Bahadur Deuba has underlined the need of making democratic candidates and those standing for changes victorious in the upcoming local elections and strengthen the foundation of democracy right from the local level.    

In an appeal today, the President of the major ruling party spoke about the need of defeating anti-constitutional and anti-democratic forces by the election and further consolidate the base of democracy.    

As the leader insists, it is high time to take significant efforts for promoting the federal democratic republic system in the country, for protecting the Constitution and for safeguarding the democracy by conquering efforts to weaken democracy and the Constitution.    

Through the appeal, the NC President said the party mechanism from the province to local levels has been instructed to implement the decision of government coalition partners to forge an electoral alliance for the May 13 local elections. It may be noted that five ruling parties NC, CPN (Maoist Center), CPN (Unified Socialist), Janata Samajbadi Party Nepal and Rashtriya Janamorcha have already agreed to have an electoral alliance as per the local need in the election.    

President Deuba requested all members of the party to be active in a campaign to make the party's authorized candidates as well as alliance candidates victorious, appealing to the candidates of the NC, who have filed rebel candidacies, to withdraw their candidacy within the slated time.    

The NC President mentioned that voters across the nation are very excited and active in electing representatives at local levels and handing over the leadership of local-level government for the next five years.
