The parties are busy selecting their candidates from the lower committees. The SSF-N has almost completed picking the nominees. The SSF-N has forged an electoral alliance with the Naya Shakti Party.
The Forum Loktantrik has also finalised the candidates in half the areas.
The parties are canvassing for votes with commitments to making the Madhesi people more powerful.
