Nepal, Oct. 5 -- The Nepali Congress (NC) has proposed state funding for political parties based on the votes they receive to promote financial transparency and discipline

The proposal is included in NC President Gagan Thapa's political document presented at the party's ongoing 15th General Convention.

The document calls for all party bodies to operate under approved budgets and for the same financial discipline to apply to primary and internal elections.

It also proposes linking state funding to strict financial discipline and public audits, while requiring verified records of party assets, a uniform accounting system, regular public audits and scrutiny of funding sources and potential conflicts of interest.
