Nepali Congress President and former Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba has called for further strengthening the federal democratic republic system. Speaking at the District Convention of Nepali Congress, Tanahu here today, the leader said "There is no alternative to a republic."
He also highlighted the need to cultivate a culture of consensus and cooperation among political parties to further strengthen the federal democratic republic system.
Deuba utilized the forum to insist on a broader understanding and unity within the party to consolidate its position. He added that an electoral alliance is needed as, constitutionally, no political party has a strong possibility of securing a majority in the election. "The Constitution is inclusive. And the possibility of a single majority is slim. The NC could emerge as the largest power through an electoral alliance."
Before this, President Deuba inaugurated a newly constructed building of NC, Tanahu.
NC former general secretary Dr Shashanka Koirala, Gandaki Province Chief Minister Surendra Raj Pandey, and central members Shankar Bhandari, Pradeep Poudel, and Gobinda Bhattarai were also present on the occasion.
The building was constructed at a cost of around two billion and the budget was managed through donation collections. The four-story building spans eight ana of land, NC district president Jit Prakash Ale said.
On the occasion, leader Deuba honored those who contributed to constructing the building.
