Though it was said to start at 8 in the morning, the election committee started late citing technical reasons.

The counting of votes has been delayed due to a delay in the formulation of the code of conduct for counting of votes and selection of candidates’ representatives. The counting of votes has started from 1:30 pm, according to the Election Committee.

Candidates, their representatives and cadres can be seen in the Morang Congress Party office, the polling station of the election. A total of 1,752 votes were cast in Sunday evening’s election. In the election, Poudel-Koirala and the establishment party are in the fray by forming a panel.
