Chitwan Officials Emphasize 'Five Ps' for Fair and Peaceful Elections

Chitwan. As the elections draw nearer, discussions and deliberations about the polls are taking place in all areas. Political parties are engaged in their campaigns, and the public is observing with keen interest. Social media is currently vibrant with election discussions. Only a few days remain until the election.

The responsibility of conducting peaceful and impartial elections rests on the shoulders of the employees. Various employees are currently being deployed for the elections across the country, and orientation programs are being conducted as they continue to be assigned to the field. The process of transporting and managing the necessary election materials to and at the polling stations and centers is also underway.

The role of security personnel, employees from all levels, and especially the Chief Polling Officer and Assistant Officers, who are deployed to conduct the election impartially, with dignity, and peacefully, is crucial, stated Chitwan's Chief District Officer (CDO) Ganesh Aryal. According to Aryal, all stakeholders must honestly fulfill their respective responsibilities to make the election successful and trustworthy.

He emphasized that employees deployed for voting must adhere to the 'Five Ps' to ensure a successful election. Mentioning words starting with the English letter 'P', he stated that the first 'P' is Punctuality, the second 'P' is Process adherence, the third 'P' is Patience, the fourth 'P' is Participation (active involvement), and the fifth 'P' is Impartiality, which must be maintained.

He expressed confidence that if these criteria are followed, the election will be impartial and well-managed. He also warned that if there is a lapse in these five aspects, there could be a situation where one might have to face the final 'P' of Penalize or Punishment.

Previously, CDO Aryal had also interpreted the word 'election' in his own style. Simplifying 'Nirwachan' as 'Ni Ra Ba Cha Na', he explained that 'Ni' means impartiality, 'Ra' means to move forward strategically, 'Ba' means to present one's views without obstructing or opposing others, 'Cha' means not to engage in manipulation, and 'Na' means not to spread negativity. The Election Commission also viewed this interpretation presented by CDO Aryal positively.
