As the deadline for nomination registration for the House of Representatives elections to be held on February 21 approaches, political parties in Pyuthan have started finalizing their candidates. So far, five political parties in the district have finalized their candidates for the House of Representatives elections.
The Nepali Communist Party (NCP) has selected Krishnadhwaj Khadka as its candidate for the upcoming election. According to the CPN Pyuthan, Khadka, who is also the former Finance Minister of Lumbini Province, has been finalized as a candidate.
Similarly, the CPN UML Pyuthan has finalized the name of former MP and UML central member Surya Thapa. Thapa, who won the House of Representatives from the CPN UML in the 2079 election, has been nominated as a candidate for the second time by the party. UML Pyuthan has stated that Thapa's name has been finalized as the UML candidate.
The National Janamorcha has also finalized its candidate for the upcoming election. Ram Pahadi, spokesperson of the CPN Masal Pyuthan, informed that Tilak GC, who is also the former chairman of Jhimruk Rural Municipality, has been nominated as a candidate from the Janamorcha. GC's name has been finalized from the Janamorcha.
Similarly, the Hark Sampang-led Shram Sanskriti Party has also finalized its candidate in Pyuthan. The party has nominated Govinda Giri of Jhimruk Rural Municipality-8 as its candidate. The Progressive Democratic Party has also finalized its candidate. The name of Shyam Gahatraj has been finalized from Pralopa.
Other political parties have not yet finalized their candidates. Parties such as the Nepali Congress, the National Independent Party (RSWP), and the National Democratic Party (RPPP) have not yet announced their candidates. The name of Dr. Govinda Raj Pokharel, a former central member and former vice-chairman of the National Planning Commission, is in the news from the Nepali Congress. Pokharel is almost certain to contest the elections from the Congress, according to Nepali Congress Pyuthan sources. Pokharel, who was a candidate from the Congress in the 2074 House of Representatives elections, was defeated by a candidate from the alliance including the UML-Jana Morcha.
