NepalLocal Elections in 1987
In contrast to the procedure followed in the 1986
elections,
the Nepali Congress Party and a number of communist
factions
allowed their members to participate as individuals in the
1987
local elections. The Nepali Congress Party also made it
clear that
its local election strategy did not mean an end to its
opposition
or resistance to the panchayat system. In urban
areas,
especially in the Tarai Region, certain party members, as
well as
some communists, did very well and were returned to office
in
substantial numbers.
