Since the margin of victory among candidates was small from the initial stage, occasional disputes between party representatives at the counting center are also prolonging the time.

The results have not been made public even after the fourth day of counting in Ilam-1. Why is the counting of votes in this area, where 63,695 people voted, so slow? There is widespread interest.
According to senior journalist Satendra Jabegu of Ilam, votes are being counted in turn from each booth based on the agreement of the political parties. The counting site is narrow and only limited manpower has been deployed. ‘It seems that it is also taking time to sort the votes from each box in turn,’ he said.
Since the margin of votes between the candidates was small from the initial stage, the time is also being extended by the occasional disputes between the party representatives at the counting site.
Out of the 63,995 votes cast here, 57,397 votes have been counted by 11:40 am. 6,598 votes are still to be counted. It is estimated that this much counting may take till 2 pm on Monday. The results of 3 out of the four districts of the former Mechi zone were made public on Sunday. Now only the counting of Ilam-1 remains.
