Nepali Congress Urges Election Commission to Act Against Code of Conduct Violations

Kathmandu. The Nepali Congress has drawn the attention of the Election Commission to bring those violating the election code of conduct under the purview of action.

On Sunday, a team led by Congress Spokesperson and Central Publicity Committee Coordinator Devraj Chalise visited the Commission and submitted a letter of attention demanding action against those violating the code of conduct.

The Congress stated that it is seriously concerned that as the House of Representatives election approaches, some parties are violating the election code of conduct and campaigning instead of competing fairly. Congress Spokesperson Chalise stated that attention was also drawn to enforce the code of conduct to maintain an environment of freedom, fairness, transparency, frugality, and fearlessness in the election.

He mentioned that political parties are openly misusing physical election symbols, and children are being involved in the election campaigning process by political parties.

Furthermore, the Congress's letter of attention mentioned that the national flag is being misused contrary to the directives regarding its use, and false information is being spread through social media to fulfill the objectives of their respective parties, thereby transmitting information contrary to the election code of conduct.
