The three candidates from Gulmi-1 exchanged pleasantries after meeting. The candidates Chandra Bhandari from the Nepali Congress, Pradeep Gyawali from the CPN-UML, and Sudarshan Baral from the Nepali Communist Party exchanged pleasantries after meeting at the nomination site.

They met when Bhandari of the Nepali Congress was leaving after registering his nomination while Gyawali and Baral were waiting for their nomination. During this, Bhandari said, ‘We have a very good culture, others should learn this too and we are giving a message to everyone.’ Immediately, Gyawali said, ‘We will have a healthy competition, we are not like others.’ They laughed and exchanged pleasantries and even talked.

Sagar Dhakal is also nominating from the National Independent Party from the same constituency. There are 122,186 voters in Gulmi-1.
