The election committee has informed that the Province Assembly regional conventions have already been held in 13 districts and the district conventions have also been completed.

However, despite the commencement of various conventions in 74 districts, other conventions have not been able to move forward in Rasuwa, Sarlahi and Sindhupalchowk districts due to the row in ward conventions.
