Elections 2022

Following the government's announcement to organise the parliamentary and provincial elections on November 20, political parties have stepped up their preparations for the polls.

Various political parties are organising gatherings and campaigns across the country targeting the elections. "The party has focused on the polls by organising meetings, gatherings, and training for its leaders and cadres," said Dr Dila Sangraula, central member of the Nepali Congress.

CPN (UML) Central Member Ganesh Kumar Pahadi concurred with Sangraula stating that political parties have increased their political activities by focusing on the elections.

"The party has launched the party purification and consolidation campaign. Political meetings, gatherings, and training have been organised. It has also announced the party statute announcement committee and main election mobilisation committee."

Major political parties continue to keep themselves busy in sitting for talks and dialogues almost each day focusing on the issues of mutual and electoral alliance with the announcement of the elections for the Federal Parliament and Province Assembly for coming November 20 in a single phase.

CPN (Maoist Centre)'s leader Jaypuri Gharti said the party is awaiting decisions of its province and district committees to launch election-target activities at the local level, as quoted by RSS.

We will launch training and orientation very soon and our plan is to reach out to the public focusing on the upcoming elections.

On the other hand, the Election Commission has endorsed a 76-point election schedule and “it is largely concentrated on ensuring that the election will be conducted in a free, fair and impartial atmosphere by keeping its cost within the limits”, according to Shaligram Sharma Poudel, the EC spokesperson.
