"The new constitution must be made like a god. It must fulfill what the people want like the god fulfilling his disciples. So we should work together," said Ram Raja Prasad Singh.
Ram Raja Prasad Singh, the president candidate proposed by the single largest CA party, the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) (CPN-M), who is also expected to be backed by Madhesh-based political parties, has got a strong hold for the election.
On Friday, the presidential candidates participated in a program organized by the CA in the capital Kathmandu pleading votes from the lawmakers.
The 594 members of Nepal's Constituent Assembly (CA) are scheduled to vote for the president of the youngest republic in the world on Saturday. Three presidents and four vice presidents candidates are in the race.
Most of the candidates for the historic presidential elections have promised to make the better constitution for the Himalayan nation, pleading votes from the newly elected lawmakers. Nepal's major political parties have registered their own candidates on Thursday for the much eagerly waited new leadership to mark the establishment of the republic.
Nepal became a republic nation after the newly elected CA voted for republic on May 28.
"We have reached the new age of republic without any bloodshed. Now we have a great duty to write the constitution of the country by ourselves," Ram Raja Prasad Singh said, adding that he would contribute to make the best constitution if he was elected president.
He also stressed the unity of political parties.
Nepali Congress (NC) presidential candidate Ram Baran Yadav also called for the unity of political parties to draft the new constitution.
"We must develop a good political culture to make a new Nepal. The new constitution must be able to fulfill the people's wish for peace and development," he said.
"We must fulfill the wish of the armed group of southern Terai. We must include everyone to lead this peace process to a conclusion," he added.
In southern Nepal's Terai plains, some Madhesi groups launched armed struggle for more autonomous rights.
Ram Prit Paswan, the candidate for the presidential post from Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist-Leninist) (CPN-UML), the third largest party following NC, said the culture of disintegration among the political parties would not make a good result.
"We all worked together to establish the new republic. But we are now going on the way of division," he said, adding that the political parties must keep their unity intact.
The candidate for the post of vice president Shanta Shrestha from CPN-M, Astalaxmi Shakya from CPN-UML, Man Bahadur Bishwakarma from Nepali Congress and Paramananda Jha from Madhesi People's Rights Forum, are also busy begging votes for themselves.
Ram Raja Prasad Singh, the Madhesh-based leader who was the first man to launch armed revolt against the deposed monarchy, seems to gather simple majority if as promised earlier by the Madhesh-based political parties to vote for him.
The CPN-M leader has said the Madhesh-based political parties are putting up pressure on the CPN-M to support their vice presidential candidate as precondition for voting Ram Raja Prasad Singh.
"We are in consensus with the Madhesh-based political parties that they'd vote for our presidential candidate," CPN-M senior leader CP Gajurel told reporters on Friday.
"But they want us to support their vice presidential candidate," he said.
He also added that his party had continued negotiation with Madhesh-based parties to ensure their support for CPN-M candidates in elections.
