Voting has begun for the election of a new leadership under the 11th general convention of the CPN-UML. Although the voting was scheduled to begin at 8 am, the voting began about an hour and a half late.
अध्यक्षका प्रत्याशी केपी शर्मा ओली र ईश्वर पोखरेलले मत हालेर मतदान सुरु गरेका हुन्। यसअघि मंगलबार साँझ हुने भनिएको मतदान केही प्राविधिक समस्याका कारण भन्दै स्थगित गरिएको थियो। अहिले बिहान पनि मतदानस्थलमा पुग्न ओलीले ढिला गरेपछि मतदानस्थलमा प्रतिनिधिहरू लाइन लागेर पर्खिएका थिए। मतदानका लागि ८० वटा विद्युतीय मेसिन राखिएका छन्। महाधिवेशनमा देशभरबाट आएका २२६३ प्रतिनिधिले मतदान गर्ने छन्।
