I am also ready to go to the House of Representatives. Let's see what the alliance decides," he said.

Region No. 4 is in the home town of CPN-UML Central Secretary and Far West Province in-charge Lekhraj Bhatt. Bhatt also won the 2074 election from the same constituency.

In the local elections, Congress won in Godawari, Maoists in Gauriganga and UML won in Chure Rural Municipality. Even if we look at the votes received from the ward, the alliance is 11,000 ahead of the UML. But it remains to be seen who will compete in the general election.
