Nepali Congress candidate Jayapati Rokaya has won the House of Representatives from Humla with 8,797 votes. He defeated his nearest rival Nepali Communist Party (NCP) candidate Dipendra Rokaya by a margin of 1,554 votes.
NCP candidate Rokaya got 7,243 votes. With his victory, the Congress has returned its legacy after 8 years.
The victorious Rokaya is the former district president of the Congress. He had contested for the House of Representatives for the first time directly. He had served as the president of Nepal Students' Union and Tarun Dal Humla and became the party president of Humla for two terms. Having started politics from Nepal Students' Union in 2040 BS, he is now a member of the party's Karnali Province Working Committee. He was on the proportional list for the House of Representatives in 2074 BS and 2079 BS. But he did not get the opportunity to become an MP.
Born in 2035, Rokaya, 47, is a resident of Tallogaun in Simkot Rural Municipality. He has completed his studies up to SLC. In the last House of Representatives election, former Maoist Tshiring Damdul Lama (Vote) won, while independent candidate Chhakka Bahadur Lama won the election in the 2074 election. He later joined the Maoist Center. In the second Constituent Assembly election, Congress' Jeevan Bahadur Shahi was elected from Constituency No. 1. Since then, no Congress candidate has been able to win as a member of the House of Representatives in Humla.
With his victory this time, Rokaya said that he would take the voice of the backward district to the parliament and take the initiative to make the district prosperous. 'My initiative will be to solve the geographical, social and economic problems here by connecting Humla with mainstream politics,' he said, 'I will be active in parliament to work in a way that shows results, not emotional politics.'
