Bibeksheel Nepali Party has announced to adopt an ‘open candidacy policy’ to pick candidates for the upcoming local election.  

In a statement issued on Tuesday, the party said the policy allows Nepali citizens from all walks of life to file candidacy in the election thereby providing them an opportunity to actively participate in politics.

“We believe that this policy will be a milestone in forming such a leadership that works toward materialising the hopes and aspirations of the general public. The first phase of the policy will be implemented in the Kathmandu metropolitan area,” read the party statement.

According to the party, prospective candidates will have to submit applications with personal details including the reason for filing candidacy with the party and five major development plans of the candidate.

Stating that only when good people enter into politics will we have good politics, and good politics ensures inclusiveness, equality, and prosperity, the party has appealed to all fellow citizens to take part in the upcoming local election and pave the way for cultured politics.

A selection committee comprising a majority of Bibeksheel Nepali non-members affiliated individuals along with Bibeksheel Nepali member representatives will make an initial recommendation based on their evaluation of the applicant’s background and his/her development plan for the city.

The final recommendation will be made in the second phase based on interview, public support for the prospective candidate and whether or not his/her character meets Bibeksheel Nepali’ s values.
