KATHMANDU, OCTOBER 9
The Election Commission has been facilitating candidates, who are not able to reach their constituencies to file their candidacies, to do so from its secretariat at Kantipath in Kathmandu.
Today is the date for candidates to file their candidacies under the first-past-the-post election system. The election to the House of Representatives and Province Assemblies is scheduled for November 20.
The EC has been facilitating by sending those candidates' documents to the Office of the Election Officer concerned in view of the difficulty related to transport to several places due to incessant rainfall for the last few days due to flood, landslide, and also for those whose official letter of candidacy was received late from their parties.
Joint-spokesperson for the EC Rishiram Bhusal said that 34 candidates for member of the House of Representatives and 60 candidates for the member of the Province Assembly submitted their documents to the EC as of 12:30pm.
