As the by-elections for the mayor and two wards in Kirtipur, as well as Ward 16 of Kathmandu Metropolis, approach, many speculated that Balen might field a candidate.

However, the mayor’s office has confirmed that there will be no candidates endorsed by Mayor Shah, and he will not support any individual in the race.

The Mayor will not be participating in this election in any capacity, according to Balen’s secretariat.

“Balen Shah is not supporting any candidate, and we request that his name not be associated with any campaign,” his secretariat stated on Sunday.
