Due to internal strife within the Nepali Congress, voting for mid-term elections for the House of Representatives was scheduled for Kartik 29, 2051. This was the second parliamentary election after the 2046 change.

In particular, due to the internal conflict between the Congress and the UML, more than half a dozen people lost their lives during the election campaign. Dozens of civilians and party leaders and activists were injured. There were also doubts that the election atmosphere would be spoiled due to murders, fights between party workers, and police interference in districts such as Dang, Palpa, Sunsari, Morang, Sindhupalchowk.

Indian leaders were present in the districts of Madhesh and sought votes for the candidate they wanted to win. Due to extreme factionalism within the Congress, rebel candidates had stood up in more than 50 seats. However, the main competition in the election was between the Congress and the UML. Although some developments made the election situation seem uncomfortable, the overall situation in the country was election-oriented.

Interesting incidents such as candidates riding horses to reach voters, Indian leaders coming to Nepal to seek votes, and voters being taken on airplanes to cast their votes were also seen. There were also incidents where leaders who had come from India to campaign were sent back by the government machinery.

1,429 candidates, including 24 parties and independents, entered the fray in 205 constituencies of the country. There were 1,057 party candidates alone. There were 86 female candidates, including independents. The number of voters was 12,296,219. Of these, 6,161,180 were female voters.

Those who had gone from Mustang in search of work were kept in tents in Jomsom.
