In Lumbini, there is a competition between the establishment (KP Oli) faction and the Ishwor Pokharel faction in the selection of representatives. After the Pokharel faction opposed the establishment faction's attempt to make it unopposed, voting was held in Rupandehi, Palpa, West Nawalparasi, and Arghakhanchi, which have a large number of voters.

UML Lumbini Province President Kandel said that efforts to reach consensus and elections are also ongoing in places where there are many aspirants for representatives. 'This is not a fight between the two parties, but because of the efforts of many friends to become representatives,' he said. However, many UML leaders are saying that the votes from Lumbini Province have increased in favor of Ishwor Pokharel as well.

Lumbini is the province of UML Vice President Bishnu Poudel and Yubaraj Gyawali, General Secretary Shankar Pokharel, Deputy Secretary General Pradeep Gyawali, Secretaries Gokarna Bista, Chhabilal Bishwakarma, and Top Bahadur Rayamajhi. Except for Rayamajhi, all other office bearers had been active in the selection of representatives by making a strategic plan.
