Chitwan, April 24

Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal’s daughter Renu will contest for Mayor of the Bharatpur Metropolitan City in Chitwan district, the CPN-Maoist Centre’s local committee decided.

The party’s chief in the new metropolis Ishwar Sapkota will run for the position of Deputy Mayor.

Dahal is a voter from Bharatpur-4.

Earlier, names of PM Dahal’s political advisor Narayan Dahal and leaders Surya Subedi and Yam Bahadur Pariyar had been floated as mayoral aspirants from the party. The leaders, however, pulled out after knowing Renu’s desire, according to party sources.

It has been learned that PM Dahal was interested to field his daughter for the top position, in order to strengthen his family’s connection to the city.

The Prime Minister was accused of not paying attending to the development of his home district.

Meanwhile, the party has also announced contenders of ward chairs and members in the city.
