KATHMANDU: Prime Minister Sushila Karki has urged voters to elect new, young and honest representatives to Parliament, saying the country can no longer be run with an outdated political mindset and working style.

Speaking during a meeting with a delegation of Nepal Tamang Ghedung on Friday, Prime Minister Karki said meaningful change in governance is only possible if fresh and credible leadership emerges through elections.
