The Commission will scrutinize objections until 5 PM today, and if any objections against candidates are upheld, their names will be excluded before publishing the final candidate list.

Tomorrow, candidates will have the opportunity to withdraw their names if they wish, and the final candidate list along with election symbols will be published as per the Commission’s schedule.

Voting will take place from 7 am to 5 pm on April 27.

For the by-election, 20 candidates have registered their names in Ilam-2 and 12 in Bajhang-1.
