Nepali Congress (NC) leader Krishna Prasad Sitaula has said that he would contest the election to federal parliament under the first-past-the-post (FPTP) electoral system. 

Addressing a meeting of party cadres here on Monday, Sitaula said that he would contest the polls from Jhapa Constituency No. 3 and would not opt for the proportional seat. 

"My candidacy will be for making the party dynamic, not for becoming a parliamentarian," he said. 

On the occasion, Sitaula said that he was contesting polls under the FPTP considering the people's sentiments and aspirations.
