The organization report prepared by Nepali Congress (NC) General Secretary Gagan Thapa to present in the Mahasamiti meeting starting from February 19 has claimed that the grand old party lost popular votes and faced difficulty in managing aspiring candidates due to electoral alliance.
The report points that the party lost around seven percent of popular votes in the last general election in comparison to the one five years before that due to electoral alliance despite finishing as the single largest party in the country.
