Election Commissioner Dahal: Govt decisions are against poll code, will seek clarification

Election Commissioner Narendra Dahal

Taplejung, December 1

Election Commissioner Narendra Dahal says some recent decisions made by the government are against election code of conduct as they have an impact on the polls scheduled for next week.

Saying that the Commission’s attention has been drawn by the decisions, Dahal claims the Commission will seek a clarification from the government.

Speaking with journalists in Taplejung today, the government’s decisions about political appointments and some long-term projects were against the poll code. He, however, did not specify which decisions in particular violated the code.

He also informed that the Commission repeatedly directed the government to tighten security as the second phase of elections would involve more challenges than the first phase held earlier this week.

Dahal was in eastern districts to monitor implementation of code of conduct and preparations for the polls.
