NC will lead coalition government: Shekhar Koirala

KATHMANDU – Nepali Congress (NC) central member Dr Shekhar Koirala said the existing political alliance will form a joint government under the NC leadership.

Speaking at a press meet at his residence in Biratnagar-9 today, the leader claimed the CPN (Maoist Centre), CPN (Unified Socialist) and other political parties would participate in the post-election government to be headed by the NC. As he said, the matter about whether electing a party parliamentary leader unanimously or by a voting will be decided by consulting with the party president and leaders.

He took time to say that the good governance and corruption prevention were the preconditions for taking the country towards prosperity. The septuagenarian leader who won the recent election to the House of Representatives (HoR) from Morang-6 said the elections were largely impartial and peaceful and congratulated the entire voters who had their direct role to make the party largest towards the first-past-the-post system.
