Dr. Bhupendra Bista, associate professor of political science at Sudurpaschim University, said that it can be assumed that all the votes that went to one party or another during the past elections have gone to the bell symbol this time.

In the first Constituent Assembly election of 2064, the CPN-Maoist participated in the election for the first time after joining the peace process. Many expected the election results to be mixed. But the Maoist candidate won in all four constituencies. At that time, the then senior leader of the Congress, Sher Bahadur Deuba, was also in the fray in Kanchanpur's Constituency No. 4 along with Dadeldhura. He won in both Dadeldhura and Kanchanpur 4 constituencies. He then left Kanchanpur 4. During the by-election, Harish Thakulla of the Maoist was elected. At that time, Puran Ranatharu was elected in Constituency No. 1, Devi Lal Chaudhary in Constituency 2, and Tekendra Bhatta in Constituency 3.
Like the 2064 and subsequent elections, many expected the district to have mixed results. Along with the wave of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) that swept across the country, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) candidate won in all three constituencies of Kanchanpur. Janak Singh Dhami was elected in Constituency No. 1, Deepak Bohara in Constituency No. 2 and Gyanendra Mahata in Constituency No. 3. ‘This is a kind of wave, the people have been supporting the candidates of the same party in all the constituencies of the district,’ said Dr. Bhupendra Bista, Associate Professor of Political Science at Sudurpaschim University. ‘It is like a monsoon, it reaches all the constituencies like a monsoon. In the past, monsoon used to come, but this time it was a tsunami.’ He said that ‘algorithms’ also work to make someone a hero and a zero.’ ‘National unity was also seen in the current election, regardless of geography and region,’ Bista said, ‘The craze of Balen attracted everyone, there is also hope that he will do something.’
He said that it can be assumed that all the votes that went to one party or another during the past conflicts have gone to the bell symbol this time. He said that the current election results are both a challenge and an opportunity for the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). He said that there will no longer be an excuse that we could not work in the minority as in the past.
Earlier, in the second Constituent Assembly election of 2070, Congress candidates were elected in all four constituencies. At that time, Diwan Singh Bista was elected in Constituency No. 1, NP Saud in Constituency No. 2, Bahadur Singh Thapa in Constituency No. 3 and Ramesh Lekhak in Constituency No. 4. In the first election held after the promulgation of the constitution, candidates from the Left Alliance were elected.
In the 2074 election, an alliance was formed between the UML and the Maoists. After the state restructuring, 3 constituencies were established in Kanchanpur. At that time, Pushpa Kamal Dahal's daughter-in-law Bina Magar was elected from Constituency No. 1, Nar Bahadur Dhami of UML from Constituency No. 2 and Dr. Deepak Prakash Bhatta of UML from Constituency No. 3 was elected.
‘There is no purity in faith and thought in political parties, they are doing anything for power and agreeing with anyone,’ said Dr. Tekraj Pant, professor of political science and former dean of the Faculty of Humanities at Sudurpaschim University, ‘There is a tendency to tempt people based on caste, regionalism, nepotism, favoritism and greed.’ But Pant says that this time’s election is different. He said that the current results were achieved due to the same wind blowing across Nepal. Pant said that the people have not yet matured. He said that they have not reached a stage where they can vote fairly and freely.
In the 2079 election, the UML won in Constituency No. 1, while the Congress won in 2 and 3. UML’s Taralam Tamang won in 1, while Congress’s NP Saud in 2 and Congress’s Ramesh Lekhak won in 3. No party has won the election repeatedly in the district’s constituencies. The same candidate has not been elected repeatedly. ‘Society is fluid, it does not stay in one place, it is also changeable, so the decisions made by society are also changeable,’ says Prit Bista, associate professor of sociology at Sudurpaschim University. ‘In the past, political parties used to form alliances, this time the people formed an alliance and voted against the misrule of the old parties.’
He said that although development will continue, the aspirations of the people will be intense, so changes will continue. He said that along with migration, education, and health, the changes in mass communication will also change the desires and needs of the people.
