Uday Shrestha, the CPN-UML Syangja district vice-chairman, has filed his nomination for the post of Waling Municipality mayor as an independent candidate after the party refused to grant him the ticket to contest for the position. The UML has fielded Punay Prasad Aryal as its mayoral pick. A party member said that Shrestha was denied the ticket because of severe factionalism. He claimed that Shrestha did not get the ticket though he was more favoured candidate. Shrestha had garnered 75 votes against 64 received by Aryal during a poll conducted by the party to decide the mayor candidate recently. Mohan Regmi, another party leader, had secured 54 votes.
