“We have noticed that the confidence and trust of the general public towards the NC has increased due to the initiative taken by the party. The responsibility has been added to the shoulders of the NC.

Whip Bhusal further said that the youths got to vote for the independent candidate due to the addition of young voters in the Kathmandu Metropolitan City.

She said that internal dissatisfaction within the party was also reflected in the election results. She said that the preliminary results of the metropolis indicated that the party should go to the polls in the coming days only by managing the internal organization of the party.

“More than 3.5 million young people have now been added as new voters. Secondly, the issues of internal dissatisfaction within the party are other factors  behind the result. However, the kind of result that is coming to Kathmandu metropolis now is the initial one. The number of people going to the polls has risen sharply.”
