CPN-UML Clarifies Stance on Upcoming House of Representatives Election on Falgun 21

Kathmandu. CPN-UML has clarified five key points regarding the House of Representatives election scheduled for Falgun 21.

UML's Publicity Coordinator for the General Election 2082, Min Bahadur Shahi, clarified the party's position during a press conference on Tuesday.

Reading a written press statement at the conference, Shahi expressed concern that the government is creating fear and intimidation by imposing curfews and prohibitory orders on the eve of the election. He stated that as UML's popularity increases, its leaders and cadres are reaching people's doorsteps with high morale, advocating for 'Vote for Nation' rather than the alleged 'Vote for Change'.

Furthermore, UML stated that justice must not die. The party alleged that the Attorney General's Office acted like a washing machine, washing away crimes, even before the investigation commission formed to probe incidents during the recent protests made its report public.

UML also opposed attempts to influence public opinion through surveys on the eve of the election. The party drew the Election Commission's attention to the violation of the election code of conduct through the misuse of social media for election campaigning.
