As the Election Commission prepares to conduct by-elections in October, Rupandehi area no. The atmosphere of the by-election has started on the 3rd. The parties have started discussing and discussing the candidates. Congress, UML, Maoist, RPPA and Madhesh parties active in this area are also engaged in internal preparations.

After the death of RPP leader Deepak Bohora, who defeated the then Home Minister Balkrishna Khan in the 2079 election, Ruppandehi area no. 3 was empty . After the Election Commission started preparations for the by-elections in October, discussions and preparations also started in Rupandehi-3. Bohora had a serious throat problem after the covid infection, so even during the election, he only appeared in the election meetings without speaking. Instead of him, his son Prajwal and RPPA workers used to speak and make election promises. After being elected, he died without even speaking in Parliament.

With the start of preparation and discussion of the by-election, the discussion of various candidates in Roopandehi-3 has also started. Some leaders have already started preparing for the election by focusing on geography. The first discussion from the Congress is that of Balkrishna Khan. However, since the issue of his Bhutanese refugee case has not been resolved, there is also discussion of other options . According to sources, the Congress party is preparing to advance the mine by coordinating with the UML. Along with Khan, Congress leaders Pramod Yadav and Bharat Shah are also seen as his alternatives. Yadav in 2079 Ruppandehi area no. 4 was defeated by LOSPA's Sarvendra Nath Shukla. Shah Area No. On the 5th, UML's Vasudev Ghimire is the defeated candidate.

Similarly, Khimlal Bhattarai is a strong candidate from UML. He resigned from the 18-month term of the National Assembly and tried to become a candidate from Rupandehi-5 in 2079. However, Bhattarai's candidacy could not be registered as UML's Vasudev Ghimire had already registered his candidacy in his place. So now he is the first contender in UML . A week ago, he has published a picture of him meeting the party president and Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli.

A UML leader said that since he is currently working in geography, there is a possibility that he will be the candidate. However, UML is weak in this area. Apart from him, Politburo member Dadhiram Neupane and Bharat Pokharel from UML have also been discussed. District President of UML Yagya Gayre said that after the announcement of the by-election date, the party will put forward a suitable and winning candidate. "We have many capable leaders," he said, "the party will recommend a suitable leader." UML will fight a single election, he said.

This area is also the area of ​​General Secretary of CPN (Unified Socialist) Ghanshyam Bhusal . Bhusal, who won the election in this region in 2074, was defeated by UML secretary Chabilal Vishwakarma in region number 1 in the last election. He is also likely to become a by-election candidate. The name of standing committee member and former state minister Hakikulla Khan and district in-charge Sonia Yadav from CPN (Maoist Centre) are in discussion. However, there is also talk that the Maoists may leave the area in case of landslides.

Similarly, the Madhesh parties have also prepared to raise a common candidate in this area. The four parties affiliated to the Federal Democratic Front met in Kathmandu on Thursday and started discussions to form a common candidate. Even though the Madhesh party has a lot of power, the Madhesh party has come to the discussion with the conclusion that they cannot win if they go separately. The leader of Rashtriya Mukti Party, Keshav Jha, who participated in the meeting, along with himself, Ruppandehi Constituency No. In 3, civil emancipation, Janata Samajwadi Party Nepal, Democratic Samajwadi Party Nepal and Janmaat Party claimed .

In the last election, Civic Liberation Party got 6 thousand 10 votes, Jaspa Nepal 5 thousand 291 votes, LOSPA 5 thousand 53 votes and Janmat 3 thousand 732 votes. However, in the last election, Deepak Bohora of RPP won by getting 36 thousand 717 votes. Khan of Congress got 34 thousand 36 votes . In the meeting, Resham Choudhary, the guardian of the Civil Liberties Party, asked other parties for their support, saying that since the Civil Liberties Party got respectable votes in the last election, it is ready to run for candidacy.

Upendra Yadav, Rajkishore Yadav, Manish Suman and Ramkumar Sharma from Jaspa Nepal, Resham Lal Choudhary, Lalbir Choudhary and Arun Choudhary from Civil Liberation, Rajendra Mahato, Keshav Jha and CN Tharu from Rashtriya Mukti Party participated in Thursday's meeting.

After the death of Deepak Bohora, the RPP, which lost its constituency, has prepared to promote Bohora's sons as per the strategy to bring it back. Deepak's son Prajwal Bohora is now deployed in the area with election strategy. Another group of RPP is preparing to advance Deepak's eldest son pilot Gaurav Bohora. Discussions are also going on to make Gaurav an independent candidate to get the support of other small parties. However, there is no need to discuss the issue of who to make a candidate for now, RPP district president Sagar Pratap Rana said.

There are many aspiring leaders in the National Independent Party. JP Gupta, defeated in the 2079 election, is the first aspirant. The leaders of the RSVP claim that the president of the RSVP, Ravi Lamichhane, is in Bhairahawa jail and the constituency is also in the same district. However, party's district president Buddhi Sharma said that there is no discussion on this issue in the party.

So far there are 139 thousand 764 voters in Roopandehi-3. The Election Commission is about to update it.
