Kathmandu, Jan 5: The Tribhuvan University has set age limit for those wishing to stand for the Free Students Union (FSU) election.
The 42nd senate of the TU on Wednesday decided to set 28 years of age as the limitation for FSU candidates, according to chief of TU students and sports welfare unit Ganga Bahadur Thapa. The TU is holding its FSU elections on coming February 25.
The meeting today also decided to adopt a mixed electoral system for the same. Accordingly, 50 per cent of members including Chair, Secretary and Treasure will be directly elected while the remaining will be chosen through the proportional representation (PR) system.
It may be noted that dispute had been taking place among student organisations over the age limit. The FSU election which has to be held in every two years has not taken place since 2009 as a result of differences among student organisations.
Students organisations welcome decision
Chairman of the All Nepal National Free Student Union (ANNFSU)-Revolutionary, Narendra Neupane, and ANNFSU General Secretary, Aein Mahar said that the FSU election has now been guaranteed with the declaration of age limit.
Similarly, General Secretary of the Nepal Student Union, Kundanraj Kafle, said that although his organisation was not in favour of age limit for the election this time, they would accept the decision if the election was guaranteed. RSS
