Kathmandu, Nepal: Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Dr. Ayodhee Prasad Yadav has reiterated that the election of the provincial assembly and the House of Representatives was not possible together.
CEC Yadav has said so while speaking before the Good Governance and Monitoring Committee (GGMC) of the Legislature-Parliament on Sunday. Both elections in a single time are not possible for constitutional as well as managerial reasons, Yadav said.
Though the Election Commission (EC) had already made clear that both elections in a single time would not be possible, the government and the political parties have been mulling the idea to hold these two elections in a single time.
It is being reported that the main opposition party CPN UML, which had been opposing the idea to hold these two elections in a single time, has now agreed to do so. However, neither the government nor the parties have made official views regarding the issue.
There is no only one reason but many that both the elections would not be possible in a single time like representations of women and other marginalized communities, printing of ballot papers, mobilization of human resource and other managerial aspects, CEC Yadav said.
