Dr. Chandrakant Bhandari has been elected Vice President of the Nepali Congress, securing the highest number of votes on the open side during the party’s 15th General Convention. After the result, Bhandari thanked convention delegates and well-wishers for their trust and valuable votes, and pledged that he would not betray the confidence placed in him.
Bhandari wins the highest vote total on the open side
Bhandari’s election gives him a vice-presidential position in the Nepali Congress following the party’s 15th General Convention. He secured more votes than the other candidates on the open side, according to the result described in the convention summary. No vote total or details about the other candidates were provided.
The result makes Bhandari one of the party’s elected vice presidents. His performance on the open side is the defining detail of the outcome: he received the highest number of votes in that category. The convention’s delegates supplied the votes that determined the result.
The available information does not specify when the voting took place, where the convention was held, or the full distribution of votes. It identifies the event as the Nepali Congress’s 15th General Convention and confirms Bhandari’s election to the post.
Pledge to honour delegates’ trust
In his response after winning, Bhandari expressed gratitude to the delegates who voted for him and to the well-wishers who supported him. He described their votes as valuable and their trust as something he would take seriously.
Bhandari pledged that he would never betray the confidence placed in him. He also set out the approach he says he intends to follow in his role: moving forward with a sense of “we” and “ours” rather than “I.” His statement framed the victory not only as a personal achievement, but also as a responsibility to those who supported him.
That collective language was central to Bhandari’s message after the election. By contrasting “we” and “ours” with “I,” he presented cooperation and shared purpose as the principles he intends to emphasise. His comments followed the announcement of his victory and were directed to the delegates and well-wishers whose support he acknowledged.
What the result establishes
The convention result confirms Bhandari’s election as Nepali Congress Vice President and records his strong showing in the open-side vote. His post-result remarks focused on gratitude, responsibility and a commitment to honour the trust expressed through the ballots.
Bhandari’s pledge gives a clear account of how he says he will approach the position: he intends to work in a collective spirit and not treat the mandate as a reason to place himself above the people who supported him. The information available does not include further details about his priorities as vice president or the party’s next steps following the convention.
For now, the central points are his election, his top vote total on the open side and his promise to serve without betraying the confidence placed in him. His message to convention delegates and well-wishers was one of thanks, paired with a commitment to move ahead through a shared “we” rather than an individual “I.”
