Prime Minister Appeals to Voters for Enthusiastic Participation in Upcoming General Elections

Kathmandu. Prime Minister Sushila Karki has appealed to all voters to participate enthusiastically in the general elections scheduled for the coming Falgun 21. Addressing the nation on Monday, Prime Minister Karki stated that the country stands at a crucial juncture in history and urged citizens to vote for the future of themselves and their descendants.

Addressing the nation three days before the election, the Prime Minister said, ‘‘Casting a vote is not merely about stamping a symbol and sending someone to victory; it is a decision you make about what kind of future you will build for yourself and your children.’’

Recalling her tenure, Prime Minister Karki stated that she led the government during a complex, sensitive, and challenging period following the ‘Gen-Z movement.’ She claimed that her government's main achievement was saving the country from a violent path and returning it to the path of peaceful resolution and the constitution, from a situation where youth anger was on the streets and the nation's future was uncertain.

‘‘Today, I am satisfied that we have crossed that difficult transition and reached this point. We have succeeded in moving forward with stability while establishing the rule of law,’’ the Prime Minister said.

The Prime Minister clarified that the government is monitoring elements attempting to muddy the atmosphere by spreading baseless materials and misleading predictions through social media and mass communication channels on the eve of the elections. She said, ‘‘This government will not tolerate any form of impunity in the country. The government will not hesitate to take action according to the law.’’

Informing that the government and the Election Commission are fully prepared for a clean, fair, and fearless election, she urged political parties to adhere to discipline during the silence period.
