The election committee had published the handwritten voter list in a haphazard manner on Tuesday. Even though questions were raised about the publication of the voter list on Tuesday itself, the election committee had moved forward with the candidacy registration process.
The police had asked the delegates who came to the convention to vacate the convention venue by saying, 'Your leaders are not here, go away.' A complaint has been filed against 400 of the delegates participating in the Bagmati convention of the NISP. The election process has been suspended to resolve the complaints and disputes filed against the delegates participating in the convention, which began on Tuesday.
Although the voting process was scheduled to begin at 8 am on Wednesday, the delegates were about to return home after voting could not be held on time.
The Election Commission has postponed the election process to correct errors in the ballot papers, resolve disputes between delegates on the adjustment list, and for committee management, the Election Committee has informed.
According to the Election Committee, more than 1,300 delegates were selected for the convention. The Election Committee has stated that it will inform 24 hours in advance of the voting after the technical and managerial work is completed.
