Nepali Congress Candidate Tek Bahadur Gurung Wins Manang Seat But Faces Oath Ban Due to Corruption Conviction

Tek Bahadur Gurung of the Nepali Congress has been elected from Manang, securing 2,415 votes. CPN's Yashoda Subedi received 446 votes. Despite his victory, Gurung will not be able to take the oath of office as a Member of Parliament.

Gurung is barred from taking the oath because he was convicted of corruption by the Special Court regarding the irregularities in the lease of land belonging to the Social Welfare Council at Bhrikutimandap.

The Special Court, on Falgun 15, 2079, convicted Gurung as an accomplice in corruption and ordered the recovery of 12.1 million rupees from him. Gurung's case is currently under review in the Supreme Court.
