Kathmandu, Nepal: Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Ayodhee Prasad Yadav has lambasted the leaders of the political parties for making differing statements regarding the local body elections.
Some leaders of the political parties has have still been saying that polls should be held in March –April and some others in May-June but the possibilities of holding local polls in March-April have now ended, CEC Yadav said while speaking at an interaction at Reporters’ Club on Tuesday.
Early date to hold the local elections would be possible in the last week of May only if the required laws are enacted by mid-Magh, CEC Yadav said urging the leaders not to make any false statements regarding the elections. ‘Necessary preparation for the elections is required than the statements regarding the elections,’ CEC Yadav said.
CEC Yadav also made clear that the local elections would not be possible to hold in single phase. The local elections will be held in phase wise, he said without elaborating about the number of phases to accomplish the local level elections.
The Election Commission of Nepal is ready not only to hold local level elections but also for the provincial and federal Parliament together if the parties forged a political agreement for the same.
