Of those who won the election in turn, Gyawali has been recommended alone by UML this time. Bhandari has been recommended along with more than a dozen leaders from Congress.

UML's Gokarna Bista has been recommended as a single candidate in Constituency No. 2. Bista, who has become stronger with a hat-trick win in the recent past, has not yet decided on a strong opponent in the field. Congress Lumbini Province Vice President Bhuwan Prasad Shrestha has been recommended along with more than a dozen leaders. Since the candidate from the National Independent Party has not yet been decided, Bista's opponent has not yet been decided.
