She became the first-ever lady to hold the mantle of ANNFSU in its history.

At the 19th convention of ANNFSU, which concluded in Pokhara on Friday, she defeated Gokul Gharti to grab the post.

She bagged 1308 votes against 781 of Gharti.

“This victory is going to be important in achieving my aim of working in favour of poor, suppressed people, and women,” she said.

Because of dispute over the number of representatives, the ANNFSU convention had become prolonged and the election for executive committee could take place only on Friday afternoon after it was agreed to increase the number of eligible representatives by 40 percent. nepalnews.com Sep 27 08
