Kathmandu, Feb 22: The Election Commission (EC) has sought right to announce the date of election.
Submitting the annual report of the fiscal year 2071/072 BS to President Bidya Devi Bhandari today, Acting Chief Commissioner of EC Dr Ayodhi Prasad Yadav said that the provision of periodic election could be materialized if the EC was given authority to announce the date by itself.
The report has also stated that the suggestions provided by the EC were not incorporated in the constitution.
The EC has also demanded the institutional autonomy for managing its staffers and others.
As per the report, monitoring the activities of the EC by the parliamentary committee was against the provision of constitutional body’s independence while implementing the biometric voters’ cards was a great achievement of the Commission. RSS
