I am confident that the people of Kathmandu would elect coalition candidates for the greater good of the country,” he said.Coalition candidate and Nepali Congress’s former general-secretary and former Deputy Prime Minister Prakashman Singh is contesting for the HoR election from Kathmandu-1 1 while Deependra Shrestha and Surajchandra Lamicchane are contesting for PA elections (1) and (2) respectively.
