Kathmandu, November 13
CK Raut’s Janamat Party has fielded its candidacy for the by-election of the chairperson of Pipara rural municipality of Mahottari district to be held on November 30.
On behalf of the party, Anjali Devi Mandal registered her candidature. She has got a loudspeaker (horn) as the election symbol, according to Raut.
Likewise, the party is contesting the election of the ward chair in Haripurwa municipality-1 of Sarlahi district, the party informs.
Raut carried out secessionist activities for the past few years, demanding that the Madhesh region be made a separate country. He had given up the agenda by signing an 11-point agreement with the government on March 8. After around one week, he had decided to register the party.
