UML picks 238 direct poll candidates

KATHMANDU, OCT 02 -
The CPN-UML on Tuesday made public its list of candidates contesting the November election in 238 of the 240 constituencies under the first-past-the-post (FPTP) category. The party’s top brass had been working on the names for the past few weeks. They are, however, yet to decide on the candidates for Rautahat-3 and Bhaktapur-1 constituencies.

A meeting of the party’s Standing Committee in a Gokarna-based hotel here, decided to field almost all senior leaders for the direct election system. The party will now choose candidates contesting under the proportional representation system.

Party Chairman Jhala Nath Khanal will contest the polls from Ilam constituency No 1 and Sarlahi-1. Khanal had won the 2008 CA election from his home constituency in Ilam. This time around, the party decided to field him from the Tarai as well after Nepali Congress President Sushil Koirala and UCPN (Maoist) Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal also decided to fight from Siraha and Chitwan respectively to make senior leaders’ presence felt in the southern plains.

The UML has fielded senior leader Madhav Kumar Nepal in Kathmandu-1 and Rautahat -1. Although Nepal lost the polls in the previous election from both Rautahat and Kathmandu, he was later nominated as CA member.

Another senior leader KP Sharma Oli is contesting the election from Jhapa-7, while vice-chairman Bamdev Gautam is contesting from Pyuthan-1 and Bardiya. The party has fielded actor Bhuwan KC in Kathmandu-1. “All the candidates have been asked to go to their constituencies immediately and intensify campaigning so that the party emerges victorious in the polls,” party spokesperson Pradeep Gyawali said.
