KATHMANDU: CPN-Unified Socialist Chairman Madhav Kumar Nepal has said that the incumbent five-party alliance would continue till elections.

Addressing the party cadres’ meeting at Bhaluwang in Dang on Saturday, Chairman Nepal said that the five-party alliance would select the common candidates in the upcoming National Assembly (NA) election.

“We will also go hand in hand from local level to other elections too,” according to the CPN (Unified Socialist) Chairman.

Arguing that no party will get a single majority, Nepal said that alliance was needed for that purpose too.

He also refused the allegations about his party’s merger with the CPN-Maoist Center but said that unity with fringe leftist parties was likely in the near future.

On a separate context, Chairman Nepal reiterated that MCC won’t be ratified in its existing form from the Parliament. (RSS)
