After the Nepali Communist Party (NCP) nominated coordinator Pushpa Kamal Dahal as its candidate from here, assessments and analyses have begun to be made as to why other parties active in this district may not be interested in fielding candidates.

Rukum East is one of the districts yet to finalize the candidates to be fielded by the CPN-UML from across the country in the upcoming elections. While the central secretariat meeting held on Saturday finalized 140 candidates for the direct election, 25 constituencies, including Rukum East, remain.
The UML Rukum East District Committee meeting held on December 20 recommended about half a dozen names including Khemman Khadka, Asha Swarnakar, Chintamani Dahal, Mohan Bhakta Budhamagar and Gopal Prasad Sunar. But the party center is seen in the 'almal' as deciding who will be the candidate from these names.
Although the matter of Khemman Khadka's name being recommended was made public on social media, it is not official, central member Lilamani Gautam said that no one's name was recommended in yesterday's secretariat meeting. 'We have completed the process by making the necessary recommendations from the district. But we do not know why the center could not finalize the name and put it on hold,' he said, 'The name will be finalized by the day of filing the nominations.'
After the Nepali Communist Party (NCP) nominated coordinator Pushpa Kamal Dahal as the candidate from here, assessments and analysis have also begun to be made as to whether other parties active in this district may not have shown interest in fielding candidates.
But Nepali Congress Rukum East leader Prakash KC said that he has no doubt that he will try his best to win by fielding a candidate from his party. He said that no matter whether Dahal or any other character comes, his party will take its election program to the voters. The Congress Rukum East has recommended the name of former MP Kusumdevi Thapa. But the party center has not yet decided on this matter.
