Kathmandu, June 18:

Standing committee member of the CPN-UML and former deputy prime minister, KP Sharma Oli, today said constituent assembly election might not be held even by mid-December if there was no change in the security situation and preparations for the polls remained incomplete.

“Earlier, we decided to hold the election in mid-June but failed to do so due to the poor security situation and inadequate preparations,” Oli said, inaugurating the fourth national conference of Radio Nepal’s Employees’ Association.
