One of the main priorities of the Party, she said, will be taking GNH to grassroots level. Addressing youth and social issues will be another priority according to the Party President.

The party will now be finalizing their 47 candidates against the certain criteria. Some of the criteria formed by the party include clean record, committed and acceptance of the Party’s ideologies.
