Sharma files candidacy for NRNA President

 Kathmandu, Oct. 14

Rajendra Kumar (RK) Sharma has filed candidacy for the post of the president of the Non-Resident Nepali Association (NRNA) the other day and said that he has an agenda to unite the organisation around the world including the Middle East.

Sharma said that his pledge includes a plan to include NRNs living in the Middle East, Europe, America and other countries. He also said that if he is elected, he will try to fulfill his election promise honestly.

According to him, the Middle East region has not been successful to elect a president of the NRNA in its about two-decade long history, so his candidacy aimed to fulfill this gap.

Sharma asserted that he has received the support of all political parties in fulfilling the sacred purpose of NRNA and said that he is aware that there should be no politics in NRNA but the organization should work in cooperation with the parties.

In his election manifesto, he has pledged to fulfill 24 tasks including NRNA development fund and implementing reforms in 24 months.

"For some time now, there has been no unity in the NRNA. It has hindered us from achieving our target. We have the responsibility to unite it in any way," he said.

Sharma's panel includes the candidacy of Khagendra Neupane (Malaysia), Robindra Prasad Shrestha 'Govinda' (Japan), Shashi Poudel (Netherlands), Abhiman Singh Basnet (Australia) and Raj Regmi for vice-presidents.

Likewise, Abdul Basid (Qatar) has vied for the post of Youth Vice President, Pravin Gurung (Qatar) for Deputy Secretary General, Lok Dahal (Belgium), Tank Gaire (Japan), Manoj Kumar Shrestha Gorkhali (UAE), and RC Pokharel (America) for secretaries.

Similarly, Thakur Dhungana has filed candidacy for Treasurer, and Devika KC for Women's Coordinator.
