KATHMANDU, April 18: As the local level election is on our doorsteps, both the ruling alliance and the main opposition party are busy forging an electoral alliance.
Earlier, the CPN-UML had been maintaining that the party would contest in the election against the ruling alliance solely. However, in recent days, UML seems busy building alliances with other small parties.
As the ruling Nepali Congress, CPN (Maoist Center), CPN (Unified Socialist), Janata Samajbadi Party (JSP) and Rastriya Janamorcha Party have announced an electoral alliance in the upcoming local election, the main opposition party, UML, Kamal Thapa-led Rastriya Prajatantra Party Nepal, Ek Nath Dhakal-led Pariwar Dal, Mahantha Thakur-led Loktantrik Samajbadi Party, CK Raut-led Janamath Party, Netra Bikram Chand-led Communist Party of Nepal, Narayanman Bijukchhe-led Nepal Workers' and Peasants' Party, Hridayesh Tripathi-led Janata Pragatisheel Party and a fraction of Nepali Congress-led by Govinda Raj Joshi are preparing to forge a similar alliance, according to UML leaders.
Kamal Thapa-led Rastriya Prajatantra Party Nepal, Ek Nath Dhakal-led Pariwar Dal have already decided to contest in the upcoming local polls using UML’s election symbol. Likewise, the UML is all set to offer a similar choice to the Netra Bikram Chand-led Communist Party of Nepal.
KP Oli-led UML and Kamal Thapa-led Rastriya Prajatantra Party Nepal have already agreed on forging an electoral alliance at Makwanpur, Chitwan, Kaski, Mahottari and Parsa districts.
Likewise, UML is preparing to forge a similar alliance with the Mahantha Thakur-led Loktantrik Samajbadi Party in districts of Madhesh Province and a few districts of Lumbini Province.
Similarly, UML and the Netra Bikram Chand-led Communist Party of Nepal are joining hands in some districts of Sudur Paschim Province, Lumbini Province and Karnali Province.
Also, the party is looking forward to an alliance with Narayanman Bijukchhe-led Nepal Workers' and Peasants' Party in Karnali Province and in Tanahu with a fraction of Nepali Congress-led by Govinda Raj Joshi.
KATHMANDU, April 3: The ruling alliance has agreed to form an electoral alliance against the main opposition party, CPN-UML, in Makwanpur district in the upcoming local level election.
As per the local level elections, 2074 BS, the CPN-UML was the largest party in the district. The party had won six out of seven local units in the district which included six posts of mayor and eight of deputy-mayor. In the same election, Nepali Congress and CPN (Maoist Center), who had formed an electoral alliance in three local units, were defeated in two local units.
As the new local level elections are on our door steps, the ruling alliance that includes, Nepali Congress, CPN (Maoist Center), CPN (Unified Socialist) and Janata Samajbadi Party, have agreed to form an electoral alliance against CPN-UML.
With this, it is likely that UML has to face the ruling alliance solely in the upcoming local election.
The ruling alliance has decided to form an electoral alliance at ward level as well. A meeting of the coalition parties held at Nepali Congress Party Office, Makwanpur took a decision to this effect.
There are a total of 10 local governments with 102 wards. Of these 10 local units, CPN (US) is likely to claim four local units. The party has maintained that two local representatives who were victorious in the earlier election representing CPN-UML have now joined the CPN (US), so the party must at least be given a chance to field candidacy in four local units.

“Candidates for the remaining local units are to be finalized by the local level themselves,” he added.
