Kathmandu, June 15: Prakash Man Singh, central committee member of the ruling Nepali Congress party , said he will  not seek re-election to the National Assembly to strengthen party unity. Singh said he was stepping aside in favour of “committed, faithful and honest cadre.

The recent convention of the party also directed me to commit myself to organizational activities,” Singh said. Singh’s term ended last month. Elections for 20 seats of the upper chamber of parliament are being held June 27. UML, the main opposition in parliament, is expected to gain a majority in the Assembly following the vote.
