KATHMANDU: Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) leader and advocate Yagya Mani Neupane has claimed that Kathmandu Metropolitan City Mayor Balen Shah will contest the upcoming House of Representatives election from Jhapa constituency No. 5.
Speaking to Khabarhub, Neupane said he has stepped aside from Jhapa-5 in favor of Shah and is prepared to support his candidacy.
“Balen is said to be contesting from constituency No. 5. I understand that discussions are also ongoing within the party,” Neupane said. “I will cooperate and move forward with him. We have already searched for a house for campaign purposes, and things have more or less been settled.”
However, there has been no official confirmation from Mayor Shah or the RSP regarding his candidacy so far.
