CA polls will be held on Nov 19 sans 33 parties’
BAITADI, JUN 23 - Nepali Congress General Secretary Prakash Man Singh has claimed that the Constituent Assembly (CA) elections will be held on November 19 even if the disgruntled parties refuse to participate in it.
Speaking at a press meet organised by Press Union in Baitadi district on Sunday, the NC leader said the elections will be held on the slate time as the Election Commission (EC) has already published the election calendar. He said the parties were compelled to form the government under the sitting Chief Justice due to lack of constitutional way out to end the deadlock. He added that the nation would be held hostage due to the protests by certain parties.
“There is not alternative for parties including the CPN-Maoist to joining the elections by being responsible,” said leader Singh. “The elections will be held under the current government led by Khil Raj Regmi because of the constitutional obligation.”
He said that the election CA is the only way to end the long-drawn political deadlock. “The peace process will not be completed without drafting a democratic constitution,” said the NC leader. “Everyone should strive for election campaign.” Singh arrived here in Baitadi to inaugurate the NC district convention.
