There could be consensus if a person from the political background is announced the presidential candidate acting on the standards envisioned in the constitution, he reiterated. In a query whether his party was fielding a candidacy for the coveted position, senior leader Khanal said the party had not thought much about it. He also said the party would not join the incumbent government. A discussion was underway to form a front in a bid to take the country towards socialist state by uniting all powers favouring the socialism, he said. Comments 0 Share your view on this story.
