KATHMANDU: The CPN-UML Central Office has received names of aspiring candidates from lower levels for the upcoming House of Representatives election scheduled for March 5.
UML Secretary Rajan Bhattarai said that the names sent from district and provincial committees have reached the central office, and a final decision on candidates will be made soon.
“All names for the upcoming elections have come through districts and provincial committees,” he said. “Some constituencies have recommended a single candidate while others have forwarded multiple names. We will finalize the candidates from each constituency shortly.”
He added that the party instructed district committees to recommend at least three candidates, including one woman. In some constituencies, more than three names were submitted by the district committees.
The nomination process for candidates is scheduled for January 20.
