Former Deputy Prime Minister and Nepali Congress leader Prakash Man Singh has directed the party leaders and cadres to be committed and united to the election preparation. 

During a discussion with the Nepali Congress Kathmandu office bearers and constituency presidents on Sunday, leader Singh directed the cadres to make smooth preparation for the elections to secure a victory.

He stressed on the strategy to be adopted by the party to this end. 

According to him, the leadership at the local level should be elected based on his/her popularity among the people and cadres. However, extensive discussion on the matter is essential, he added. 

The constituency presidents of the party have been asked to prioritise popular candidates who are committed to the party, cadres, agenda and development. 

On the occasion, the constituency presidents and the district presidents said they had been preparing to secure victory in the local level election scheduled for May 14.
