Thapa said it was necessary to ensure the victory of forces committed to nation-building, adding that despite ongoing economic growth and work based on an integrated blueprint for prosperity, various forces had dominated the political landscape and led to the displacement of the previous government. He expressed confidence that voters would take this into account.
He also stressed the need for the Supreme Court to deliver a verdict at the earliest on the case related to the reinstatement of the House of Representatives.
