Ninety-three applications have been submitted by 100 political parties to contest the proportional representation election in the House of Representatives elections to be held on February 21.
88 political parties have applied individually and 12 parties from 5 different groups to contest the election.
The Election Commission had called for registration of political parties wishing to participate in the proportional electoral system. In the three-day period from 21-23 Mangsir, 93 applications were received, said Sita Pun, assistant spokesperson of the Commission.
Only political parties that had previously registered their parties to participate in the elections were allowed to apply for the proportional system. During the period from 1-14 Mangsir, which the Commission allowed for party registration for the purpose of the House of Representatives elections, 107 applications were received from 114 parties. Accordingly, the Commission has distributed 107 election symbols. Pun said that 93 applications for proportional representation were received from the 107 party registrations that were accepted in the previous application.
Earlier, 14 political parties have been seen not participating in the proportional election despite registering their parties for election purposes. Pun has informed that the final list of political parties competing in the proportional election will be published after investigating the applications received.
