At 18, Abhipsa Poudel enters the race for Nepali Congress central member

KATHMANDU: Eighteen-year-old Abhipsa Poudel has registered her candidacy for the post of central member at the Nepali Congress’ 15th General Convention.

Poudel, the youngest General Convention representative of the Nepali Congress, has registered her candidacy from the youth women’s cluster under the geographical category representing Bagmati Province.

Here is an excerpt from her conversation with Khabarhub:

What are your plans if you become a central member of the Nepali Congress?

The Nepali Congress has been shrinking as public trust in the party has declined. In the days ahead, young people like us need to enter leadership and rebuild that trust. The Nepali Congress is a party for the people, not for power, and we need to demonstrate that the party works for the people.

My main agenda will be to work for young people and women. I will raise my voice for young people across my generation. I want to see more employment opportunities created in Nepal.
