The Nepali Congress (NC), CPN-UML, and Janata Samajwadi Party Nepal have decided to field candidates for the National Assembly election through an electoral alliance.
The nomination registration process is taking place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Wednesday.

The party will field Basudev Jangali and Chandra Bahadur KC from Lumbini province, Lalit Jung Shahi from Karnali province, and Khamma Bahadur Khati from Sudur Paschim province.
From the UML, Roshani Meche and Somnath Portel will be the candidates from Koshi, while the remaining provinces will have one candidate each.
