KATHMANDU, Jan 3: Rastriya Janamorcha is all set to field Rajesh Bishwokarma as a candidate for the vacant seat in the National Assembly (NA) from Lumbini Province.
Bishwokarma is the only candidate from the party, which is also one of the five coalition partners.
Earlier, a meeting of the ruling alliance held on Monday morning decided to allocate a seat to the party under the Dalit category.

While the Janata Samajbadi Party has been allotted two seats for the upper house, another coalition partner Rastriya Janamorcha will get a seat.
