Elderly Citizens Turn Out in Large Numbers to Vote in Sudurpashchim Amid Peaceful Polling

Dhangadhi. Voting is currently underway in all 16 constituencies of Sudurpashchim Province in an enthusiastic and peaceful atmosphere. The queues at polling stations show the presence of senior citizens aged 70, 80, and 90 years.

These senior citizens are reaching the polling stations either leaning on their own walking sticks or with the support of family members. Despite their physical frailty, their enthusiasm for voting appears as strong as that of the youth. Senior citizens encountered at the polling stations are saying, 'Our time has passed, may the future of our children be bright, may the country develop.'

Subhadra Chaulagain, 70, of Dhangadhi, was also in line to cast her vote. She has voted many times in her life. Subhadra, who has participated in many elections since her youth, stated that she changed her vote this time.

'I have voted for someone who will do new work this time. Our time has passed; I voted knowingly hoping that the days of our children and grandchildren will be better.'

Similarly, 90-year-old Sujata Joshi was brought to the polling center by her son. Although she cannot walk, her great desire is for the country to develop.

'I came to vote so that the days of our children are good and development occurs in the village and locality,' said Sujata. This sentiment is shared by most of the elderly citizens encountered at various polling stations across Sudurpashchim. They stated that they voted for the candidate who will work.
