CPN Urges Stakeholders for Free, Fair, and Fearless Elections

Kathmandu. The Communist Party of Nepal (CPN) has urged all stakeholders to ensure that the upcoming elections are conducted in a clean, impartial, and fear-free environment.

Addressing a press conference at the party office in Parisdanda on Tuesday, the CPN Election Operation Committee emphasized the special significance of the election in steering the country out of the current crisis and consolidating national unity.

Agniprasad Sapkota, the committee's coordinator, called upon the government, security agencies, and the Election Commission to demonstrate the highest level of honesty and responsibility. Mentioning that the country has reached a decisive juncture in the election due to the collective efforts of all parties, he asserted that public trust and confidence in the CPN are soaring.

Claiming that the CPN is the only capable force that can lead the country in the right direction, Sapkota stated that based on recent reports, his party is clearly set to emerge as the winner in the election.

In this regard, the CPN also expressed serious concern over incidents of violation of the election code of conduct. The CPN accused some limited media outlets of attempting to devalue the party by spreading misleading information contrary to the minimum standards and code of conduct of journalism.

Sapkota stressed that the Election Commission must play an effective role in successfully conducting the elections on schedule, as forces wishing to disrupt the elections are still active.

The CPN also requested voters to deeply evaluate the past and present roles, ideologies, and agendas of political parties. The CPN appealed to the general public to stand in favor of change, stability, and prosperity by protecting the achievements of history and making a judicious decision.
