EC sought answers from 45 organizations
The Women's Rehabilitation Center (WOREC) and other organizations are among the 45 organizations that have requested a written response from the commission.
KATHMANDU: MAY. 2 – The Election Commission (EC) has demanded responses from 45 organizations calling for action against Keshav Sthapit, the Kathmandu Municipal Corporation’s mayoral candidate.
The Commission understands that the words expressed while taking action against Sthapit are against the Election Code of Conduct.
“It is said that action on the issue of women has been demanded.” ‘A written response must be submitted within three days of receiving information that the words used in the demand for action violated the code of conduct,’ said a commission commissioner.

The Women’s Rehabilitation Center (WOREC) and other organizations are among the 45 organizations that have requested a written response from the commission.
Sthapit used derogatory words toward women in a college program a few days ago, prompting forty-five unions to issue a joint statement demanding that his candidacy be withdrawn.
