Prime Minister Expresses Satisfaction Over Successful Conclusion of National Elections

The Prime Minister, who assumed leadership during difficult and challenging circumstances, expressed happiness over the successful completion of elections in the country. She stated that the successful conclusion of the elections was not just her effort but the result of the collective effort of the entire cabinet, the state mechanism, and the people.

According to the Prime Minister, the cabinet, the Election Commission, security agencies, employees, political parties, candidates, and the Nepali people played a significant role in making the elections successful. "The Nepali people who accepted our call and participated in the elections are the ones who made it successful," she said.

She mentioned that security was the main challenge faced before conducting the elections. She stated that an integrated election security plan was implemented for this purpose and that it worked effectively. She noted that the peaceful environment for the elections was possible due to good coordination among the Nepali Army, Nepal Police, Armed Police Force, National Investigation Department, and the Home Ministry administration.

Recalling that various apprehensions were expressed about the elections from the beginning, she mentioned that there were even comments that elections might not happen at all initially. However, she said that due to diligence, self-confidence, and commitment to responsibility, the government remained focused on its work despite the challenges.

She stated that despite various criticisms and obstacles faced by the government, the government remained firm in its goal of maintaining peace in the country and conducting the elections in a civilized and disciplined manner, without being distracted. "We did the work not for ourselves, but for the nation and the people," she said.

While acknowledging that there are areas where the electoral process can be further improved, she mentioned that it would be better if arrangements could be made for Nepalis living abroad and for inter-district voting. She also stated that although frugality was maintained in expenses, some incidents necessitated the purchase of new equipment.

Addressing the upcoming government and elected representatives, she emphasized that honest efforts are necessary to solve the country's problems. She stressed the need to address the demands raised by the youth generation, particularly regarding good governance, employment, ending corruption, a discrimination-free society, and creating opportunities within the country.

The Prime Minister also informed that she would publish a white paper detailing the work done during her tenure, pending issues, and the reasons for uncompleted tasks to guide the next government.

Meanwhile, she clarified that the report submitted by the Inquiry Commission led by Gauribahadur Karki would be implemented. Stating that impunity of any kind should not be tolerated in the country, she committed that all necessary reports would be made public and the truth would be conveyed to the people.
