The voters of the village are disappointed that despite the pain and suffering they have endured in front of the candidates in every election, they are no longer heard. As a result, the excitement of the election has not touched them.

The residents of the rural areas of the district are expressing their displeasure over the elections. The residents of the remote Rahaf village of the district are expressing their anger when it comes to the elections.

The residents of Turmakhand Rural Municipality-1, Rahaf, voice their demands in every election. They join hands to fulfill their demands. The leaders who appear in the village only during the campaign do not even show their faces after winning. Local leaders/activists have decided to boycott the elections of the House of Representatives on Saturday, saying that they are being swayed by repeated promises.

Due to continuous neglect, local leaders and activists of all political parties in Achham-2, Rahaf have decided to boycott the elections of members of the House of Representatives. Local Jhalak Bahadur Budha said that they have submitted a decision with a five-point proposal to the ward office. ‘Telling a candidate ‘no entry’ to the village’ is not violence,’ he said, ‘it is peaceful and democratic pressure.’ The people of Rahaf are not against the elections. We want to convey our pain to the state.'

UML leader and former ward chairman Thir Bahadur Rawal said that it is not easy to reach the village due to the difficult geography. 'Even though the road from the Karnali Highway reached the village last November, vehicles have not been able to ply yet,' he said, 'We are deprived of minimum infrastructure.' He said that it takes 36 hours to reach the center of our own rural municipality. It is almost impossible to reach the center of the municipality in a single day. 'Adults can reach the center of the municipality within 15 to 18 hours,' he said, 'The disabled and the elderly take 36 to 40 hours.'

Rahaf village is 200 kilometers away from the district headquarters. ‘There is no safe path for walking,’ he said, ‘on one side there is a dangerous path through the forest, on the other side there is a path along the Karnali river, it is difficult to walk.’ The all-party decision-making process was led by local leaders of the Congress and UML, including Pawan Rawal of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), Narendra Lamsal of the Nepali Congress (NCP), Dan Bahadur Shahi, and others.

The pain of the locals is on one side. On the other hand, candidates and workers of the Congress, UML, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), and Nepali Communist Party (NCP) are currently reaching the rural areas of the district and asking for votes. However, the candidates have not reached Rahaf. Most of the residents of Rahaf are voting without seeing the candidates. ‘We will vote wherever the village leaders tell us to vote,’ said 68-year-old Amrita Nepali of Turmakhand-1 Rahaf. ‘The candidates have not come to the courtyard and asked for votes.’ They don't even know who the candidate is.'

According to him, there is a big problem of drinking water in the village. There is no electricity and roads. Like Amrita, many locals are not aware of the candidate's agenda. They are deprived of basic facilities like drinking water, health, education, and electricity. 'No one comes to listen to us,' said 75-year-old Ujjale Damai, 'The leaders and people's representatives are far away. We also can't go there to complain. That's why we won't vote for anyone this time.'

The main demand of the residents of Rahaf is a motorable bridge. Since no one has paid attention so far, Congress ward president Dhan Bahadur Karki said that they have reached a point where they have to boycott the elections. 'Rahaf has always been used only as a vote bank,' he said. 'Before the elections, they assure us of roads, concrete bridges, and vehicles.' We have been repeatedly asking the MPs who have won since 2064 for a bridge. No one listened to our voice.'
