The mid-hill-centric political campaign of the CPN-UML concluded on Sunday. UML Chairman KP Sharma Oli hoisted a national flag at Chiwabhanjyang in Paanchthar to mark the end of the over two-week journey.

The campaign that kicked off in Jhulaghat of Baitadi district on December 1 concluded after reaching Chiwabhanjyang in the far-eastern part of the country after 17 days.

Oli reached Phidim, the district headquarters on Sunday after travelling by road. He then reached Chiwabhanjyang on a helicopter due to health issues while other leaders reached by road.

During the campaign, UML leaders travelled through the Mid-Hill Highway and interacted with the local communities in 26 districts connected by the highway. The party organised 30 mass assemblies and interacted with locals through over 100 gatherings during the over two-week-long tour.

The second-largest party in Parliament had conducted a two-month-long ‘mission grassroots’ campaign earlier this year.
