The voting process began at midnight on Wednesday at the ongoing Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) general convention in Bharatpur.
After delegates stood in line for nearly two hours, voting began at 12 midnight. The voting time has been set for 12 noon on Thursday.
379 candidates had filed nominations for 99 posts. After the list was made public, the final list was made public after an investigation into the claims and objections raised against the candidates, cancellation of candidacies, and withdrawals, and only 24 candidates were retained, Election Commission Chief Bhuwan KC informed.
The RSSS statute provides for the election of the president and 99 central members in the first phase. Since Ravi Lamichhane is the only candidate for the post of president, he has been elected unopposed. Voting is underway for 99 central members.
