Kathmandu. The Ministry of Home Affairs has stated that voting across the country was conducted in a peaceful, secure, and encouraging manner. The Ministry claimed that the integrated security plan, prepared after carefully evaluating past election experiences and the current different environment, was fully successful.

Ananda Kafle, spokesperson and joint secretary of the Ministry of Home Affairs, stated that the pre-election situation was completed peacefully, and the security arrangements appeared extremely tight up to the voting day today. The Ministry reported that although there were minor disruptions to voting in some places due to managerial or other reasons, these were resolved immediately.

He claimed that the voting process, which had been obstructed for a long time at one polling station in Dolakha, has been resumed through coordination among the District Security Committee, political parties, and security personnel. He stated, 'Security personnel have been deployed according to the integrated security plan we created. Looking at the situation so far, it is very peaceful, and voters are casting their ballots enthusiastically.'

He mentioned that security personnel were deployed at the 'micro-level' to ensure the security of candidates, voters, journalists, and observers in the election.
