Kathmandu, May 10

The Election Commission has rejected former chief election commissioner Ayodhi Prasad Yadav’s application for election observation.

A commission official says it rejected Yadav’s application as he is now involved in the CPN-Maoist Centre as a member of its election department.

If Ayodhi Prasad Yadav’s application had been accepted, the commission would have recognised him as a special observer owing to his previous experiences.

The commission has recognised former chief justices Kalyan Shrestha and Sushila Karki and former chief election commissioners Bhoj Raj Pokharel and Nil Kantha Uprety as special election observers for the local elections to be held this Friday.
