CHITWAN: CPN-Maoist Center Chair Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ has said that alliance would be struck among the ruling coalition partners in the metropolises and sub-metropolises in the upcoming local level elections from the central level itself.

The Maoist Center chair said so while talking to journalists in Chitwan on Wednesday. He said the electoral adjustment would be only among the ruling coalition partners.

“Discussions are on regarding forming electoral alliance for the metropolises and sub-metropolises from the central level itself. A meeting of the parties in the ruling coalition on Thursday will decide on this,” he said, adding that this has been further clarified after the Nepali Congress central committee’s decision on the matter Tuesday.

According to him, the electoral alliance would be forged on a need basis.

Stating that the CPN-Maoist Center claims the post of mayor in Bharatpur Metropolitan City, the former Prime Minister said his party has the policy of consolidating the center power and also striking electoral alliances as per the need.

Prachanda said all the parties were preparing for the election in their own way and it is ascertained that elections would take place.
