Kathmandu, 14 December: At a time when the government has been making final preparations for municipal elections, the seven agitating political parties have said that they would announce a two month-long programme to disrupt the elections.
The programme would be announced at the joint mass meeting of the seven parties on Thursday [15 December].
Two of the agitating seven parties - Nepali Congress [NC] and Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist-Leninist) - have been running their separate awareness campaigns. The seven parties have already announced that they would actively boycott the municipal elections.
"The parties will begin a door-to-door campaign in the villages in order to disrupt the elections," NC spokesperson Krishna Sitaula said. [passage omitted]
