KATHMANDU: Nepali Congress has demanded with the Election Commission to conduct re-polling in the total three polling centres of Bajhang and Achham.

The major ruling party has also condemned the UML cadres' act of attack on its candidates and unruly behaviors towards the security personnel at the polling centres and claimed that the UML, the main opposition party, has breached the fundamental voting rights of the public.
