Kathmandu : Nepal will get a new President on Thursday with Ram Chandra Poudel of the Nepali Congress and Subash Chandra Nembang of the CPN-UML vying for the post, an outcome which could impact the stability of the government headed by Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal “Prachanda”.
Nepal’s Election Commission said on Wednesday that all preparations for the big-ticket election have been completed.
The Presidential election is a face-off between two former speakers of the House of Representatives — Paudel, a candidate backed by the eight-party alliance led by Prime Minister Prachanda, and CPN-UML’s Nembang.
