‘By-election results increase NC’s courage’

Published Date : December 2, 2019

Kathmandu: Main opposition Nepali Congress has said that the results of the recently held by-election have increased party’s organisational self-confidence and encouraged it to move ahead with goals of wining next elections.

Voters have endorsed the NC as a responsible and decent opposition by giving it more votes comparatively despite many upheavals, said NC’s spokesperson Bishwo Prakash Sharma at a press conference organised here at NC’s central office.

“We have got a message from the by-poll that there is a need to review our weak performance in some polling locations.

Difference in the number of votes in the recently held by-poll between the NC and ruling Nepal Communist Party has decreased as compared to the previous election,” he said.

In another context, he said the people’s mandate through the by-election has given a message that the incumbent government should correct itself.

He referred to their “appeal’ to the voters that their votes could help correct the government although the by-election was not meant to form or change a government.

The NC thanked all voters who participated in the by-election and voted for the NC and those who won the by-poll. It also thanked employees of the Election Commission, civil servants, security personnel and media-persons for their contribution to the by-election.
