KATHMANDU: Ahead of the upcoming by-election in Illam-2, the CPN (Maoist Center) has put forward four names as potential candidates for the constituency.

The Provincial Committee, upon the recommendation of the District Committee, has submitted a list of four candidates to the party’s central office, from which the final candidate will be selected.

Harka Bahadur Nembang, Chairman of the party for Koshi Province, disclosed that the recommended candidates include Direndra Sharma Timalsina, Urmila Tamang, Om Bahadur Gurung, and Kumar Baraili.

Meanwhile, the CPN-UML has already announced Suhang Nembang, the son of late party leader Subhash Nembang, as its candidate for the by-election.
