KATHMANDU – Nepali Congress (NC) leader Dr Shashanka Koirala said seat allocation in the upcoming federal and provinces should be based on the votes acquired in the local election. He made this statement while talking to media-persons here today.

“Seats should be allocated based on indications and truth as exhibited in the local poll. The NC should claim 95 to 100 seats,” he said, adding that for this, parties in the alliance should be ready. Stating that there is no alternative to the coalition at present, the leader expressed the hope that the parties in the coalition would reach a consensus on the matter.

He also urged party leaders and cadres to launch and participate in election programmes for November 20 polls.
