A complaint filed against the candidacy of Nepali Communist Party Co-Coordinator and former Prime Minister Madhav Kumar Nepal from Rautahat-1 in the House of Representatives elections has been dismissed.

A complaint was filed against Nepal on Wednesday. The complaint was filed saying that the case filed against Nepal by the Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority in the Special Court, accusing Patanjali of land corruption, was pending.

A complaint was filed demanding the cancellation of Nepal's candidacy nomination papers, but it was not registered. Chief Election Officer Manoj KC said that he had filed a complaint against Nepal. 'A complaint was filed demanding the cancellation of candidacy, saying that the case of Patanjali's land corruption was pending. I have filed a complaint with the reasons behind the complaint,' KC said.

KC said that the complaint was filed because there is a legal principle that one cannot be considered guilty in a corruption case since the case is pending. Similarly, the Chief Election Officer's Office, Rautahat, has informed that the complaint was not registered because the candidacy is valid as per the election law.
