A newly-formed alliance of six Madhes-based parties in Nepal on Friday announced that it will boycott the second phase of local elections and launch a fresh agitation to block the first local-level polls held in the country in two decades.
The Rastriya Janata Party Nepal (RJPN) after a meeting held here announced that it will hold protests to foil the second phase of local level elections slated for June 14.
As part of its protest programmes, the party has decided to organise torch rallies in districts headquarters of all the sub-metropolitan cities and municipalities on Saturday, the Kathmandu Post reported.
