Civic polls: Nepali Congress barred from fielding candidates in Dolpa

Kathmandu, March 19

Nepali Congress, the biggest political party in Parliament, won’t be allowed to field candidates for civic body positions in Dolpa as its local unit missed a deadline to get registered with the disctrict election office.

Similarly, Rastriya Prajatantra Party can’t field candidates in nine districts: Morang, Siraha, Dhanusa, Mahottari,  Gorkha, Rasuwa, Bara, Dolpa and Lamjung.

The Election Commission had issued a notice to all political parties to get registered with the respective district election office between January 9-January 30. However, the Nepali Congress missed the deadline in Dolpa and the RPP in the aforementioned districts.

Meanwhile, the Election Comission says representatives of the parties who missed the deadline to get registered will have no other option but to file candidates as independents.
