Kathmandu, April 11:

The Constituent Assembly (CA) polls are over, but the poll fever won’t go as long as the results in a majority of constituencies are out.

Pawan Chemjong, a teacher, who was strolling in the exhibition road area in the evening, said life would not come back to normal routine until complete results are out.

He said he was glued to the television set throughout the afternoon watching updates on vote counts and was heading to the City Hall to see how the vote counting was going on.

“It’s like we are glued to FM stations or television due to the curiosity of knowing about the results,” he said, adding that the election won’t be really over without knowing the results.

Offices, schools and colleges are closed till April 15 and very few vehicles were plying on the roads in Kathmandu today.

The polls have become a festival and they would remain like that as along as there are holidays, said Lezina Parajuli, a student of Madan Bhandari College.

She said, “Everywhere people are talking about the polls and they are all glued to the media to listen or watch the update on vote counts.”

She said she still has not thought of the routine life. “When the poll fevers gets down, there is the New Year,” she said, adding that normal routine would return only after the New Year celebrations.

Menaka Pokharel, a housewife, said she was never so excited about the polls after the 1991 parliamentary election.

“Every moment I am listening to radio to know about the results,” she said. Now that the polls have been held peacefully, she said who will win and what will happen after the results are out are the issues that are occupying her mind.
