Kathmandu, December 29
The independent candidates and alternative political forces have decided to organise a national convention in the federal capital, Kathmandu, from February 17 to 19.
The meeting of independent candidates and alternative political forums held today took a decision to this effect. The convention will be organised to ensure unity of new political forces for the sake of ensuring citizen's rights and the country's prosperity, according to Dr Nand Kapri, coordinator of the convention main organising committee.
He further informed that independent candidates and alternative forces had so far held 82 meetings in various places of the country since the May 13 local election.
It is said the convention will announce a strong alternative political force along with a clear road map for political cleansing, good governance and economic prosperity.
"The goal of the alternative force is to unite people for good governance and prosperity," Kapri added.
A statement delivered in the press meet today mentioned that the urgency of change with alternative leadership had been realised from the recent elections in Nepal. The traditional 'ism' and philosophies are no more relevant to steer the country ahead, it added.
