INARUWA, NOVEMBER 27

Vote counting in Sunsari Constituency-4 has been halted since last evening.

Chief Returning Officer Arjun Adhikari said the vote count could not resume yet as local political parties failed to forge consensus.

Nepali Congress candidate from the constituency Gyanendra Bahadur Karki charged that 606 votes were added to the total votes garnered by the CPN-UML candidate in the course of vote counting yesterday.

Shortly, an all-party meeting was called in a bid to settle the dispute, but to no avail.

The common candidate of the democratic-left alliance, Karki, has been demanding re-counting of votes.
