Kathmandu, Nepal: Chief Election Commissioner Ayodhi Prasad Yadav has said that just sending letter urging perpetrations for the elections is not enough to make perpetrations for the elections.
The government decision to request the Election Commission to prepare for local polls was not enough, but need to announce the exact poll dates to begin the preparations, Yadav said in a face to face program organized by the Reporters’ Club in Kathmandu on Friday.
Chief elections commissioner Yadav’s comment has come just a day after the government made a decision to send a formal letter requesting to the election commission to make necessary preparations for the elections. A cabinet meeting on Thursday made such a decision.
The decision of the government would not completely ensure the local polls on time, though it was positive in spirit, Yadav said adding that exact polls date should be announced to begin preparations.
During the function he also urged the government and political parties to finalize other laws related to the elections before announcing the date for the elections.
