Dr. Shashank remains the sole torch-bearer of Koirala clan in CA polls
As most of his kiths and kins were compelled to bite the dust in the
recently concluded Constituent Assembly (CA) election, Prime Minister and
president of Nepali Congress (NC), could be feeling respite with the win of
his nephew Dr. Shashank Koirala.
Dr. Shashank Koirala, the youngest son of late NC leader BP Koirala, has won
from Nawalparasi-1 constituency.
He garnered 17430 votes and defeated his nearest rival and Maoist candidate
Thakur Prasad Chapagain by nearly 3000 votes margin.
Other members of the Koirala clan including PM's daughter Sujata Koirala,
acting president Sushil Koirala and nephew Dr. Shekhar Koirala have lost in
the election. nepalnews.com sd Apr 14 08
