NC cannot remain in coalition unless it gets 100 seats: Leader Koirala



KATHMANDU: Nepali Congress (NC) Central Committee member Dr. Shekhar Koirala has said that the party cannot form an alliance with less than 100 seats in November 20 elections.

He added though situation was such that all parties had to forge alliance and head to the polls, the number of seats for NC could not be reduced below 100.

Koirala said, “NC was strong enough and was capable of contesting the elections on its own. Nevertheless, as the situation is not favorable, we are compelled stay in the alliance.”
