Ward Chairman Rajkumar Panthi of Mathagadhi Rural Municipality-1, Chidipani has been relieved of his post. Panthi, who was elected from the CPN-UML, was relieved of his post on charges of joining another party. The Election Commission has stated in a notice issued by the Election Commission that he was relieved of his post based on the information of the party concerned.
The notice issued by the Commission states that the posts of the elected public representatives in the 2079 BS local level elections have automatically become vacant. Panthi, however, said that he was taken into action because he supported the Genji movement and gave the message that innocent children should not be killed. He has stated through social media that the action was taken even though he had not joined any party.
The post became vacant after the UML Central Secretariat informed the Commission that the public representatives had left the party and joined another party.
According to Sub-section (1) of Section 32 of the Political Parties Act, 2073 BS and Rule 22 of the Political Parties Regulations, 2074 BS, there is a legal provision that the central committee of the political party must decide and inform the commission about the situation of leaving the party.
