KATHMANDU: The Election Commission (EC) and the National Women Commission have submitted their annual reports to President Ramchandra Paudel.

The reports, incorporating the works carried out by the two constitutional bodies in the fiscal year 2080-81 (2023-24), were presented to the Head of State amid separate programmes held at the Office of the President in Shital Niwas today.

Chief Election Commissioner Dinesh Kumar Thapaliya and National Women Commission Chairperson Kamala Parajuli presented the annual report of their respective commissions.

On the occasion, President Paudel said that periodic election is the basis for consolidation of the federal democratic republic and for the nation’s development and stability.

He opined that it (periodic election) is the beauty and mandatory aspect of democracy, as it is through the election that people achieve their democratic rights and privileges.

Similarly, after receiving the National Women Commission report, the President said that although the women participation is encouraging in some areas due to the sustained efforts, the representation of women, who make up more than half the population of the country, was still not satisfactory in the decision-making level.

“It is seen that the women’s participation in and contribution to other key sectors of life needed to be ensured through even more effective means. I am confident that the NWC will carry out works toward that end in a more vigorous and effective way in the coming days,” President Paudel said.
