The Central Joint People’s Movement Co-ordination Committee of the seven-party alliance has said that it will blacklist persons who participate in the upcoming municipal poll slated for February 8.

Making public its programme to disrupt the municipal polls on Sunday, the alliance said, the decision was taken as the election is a ploy to prolong royal rule and participation in the poll is against democracy, people and the nation.

The alliance has also appealed to lawyers, journalists, human rights activists, professors, doctors and teachers, students and youths to come up with their respective programs to boycott the elections.

It has also decided to mobilize its sister organizations to ensue the failure of polls.

The alliance of seven political parties that is protesting against the February 1 royal takeover has decided to actively boycott the municipal poll.

Meanwhile, a pamphlet issued by ‘the intellectual circle of the CPN-UML’ has been found in Butwal. The pamphlet appeals to the people to vote for CPN-UML.

However, CPN-UML cadres have expressed surprise over the pamphlet and accused the administration of issuing it.

Earlier, the administration had issued similar pamphlets when the CPN–UML organized its mass meeting in Butwal more than a month ago.

The seven-party alliance on Sunday deplored the intervention by Royal Nepalese Army (RNA) personnel at a CPN-UML meet organized in Baglung, Saturday.
