Election Commission recommends holding local level elections by March 19, next year
KATHMANDU: The Election Commission (EC) has recommended to the government to hold the local level elections by March 19, 2022.
During a meeting with Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba on Monday, the poll body made such a recommendation.
The tenure of local level people’s representatives is due to expire on May 19, next year.
Chief Election Commissioner Dinesh Kumar Thapaliya shared that the election body made such recommendations as the election-related acts have made it mandatory to hold elections two months before the tenure of incumbent representatives expires.
During the meeting, PM Deuba assured of taking necessary decisions to this effect.
The EC also recommended to the government to hold elections for the to-be-vacant seats of the National Assembly (NA) in January, next year. Tenure of 20 members of the upper house of parliament is expiring in February-end.
