It's a great thing for the ANA to have two competitive groups vying for it's leadership. Competitive elections serve the community well because they prevent candidates from taking their voters for granted and becoming too arrogant, aloof or disconnected from the people they seek to serve.

I  can only hope the executive committee that gets elected includes a combination of people from both panels. When combined these two groups broadly represent the socio-economic, ethnic, educational, gender, age diversity that exists in the Nepali community in the US  which one group on it's own may not necessarily be able to provide.

May the best man (or woman) win.
