According to a senior leader, most of the central committee members "are for proposing Nepal as the prime ministerial candidate".
"There is hardly any dispute within the party on his candidacy," he underlined.
"His name is almost final. But, in view of several past instances of other parties betraying the party, many comrades suggested not to publicize the name immediately," the leader was quoted as saying by myrepublica online.
Several leaders suggested the party not to publicise the candidates name before ascertaining that the party will get chance to lead the government, the report said. PTI
