Kathmandu, April 6: Chief Election Commissioner Dr Ayodhi Prasad Yadav has said that Commission is now fully engrossed in holding the local level election scheduled for May 14.
Talking to government media representatives on Wednesday, CEC Dr Yadav said the Commission is fully prepared in holding the elections, and does not go by the issues being discussed at the political level or in the media. Referring to the news report of holding the election in two phases, Dr Yadav said the Commission too learnt it from the media but is currently working as per the election schedule.
He also said that the Commission works on the basis of the election act drafted by the Legislature-Parliament, which has provided that the parties represented in the parliament will get an election symbol while other parties would be entitled to independent election symbol.
Of the total 113 parties registered in the Commission, only 27 are represented in the Parliament. “Some political parties did not get their respective election symbol, and it is because of the legal provision for the same. The Commission is serious over the matter, but cannot review it as it already late,” he said. RSS
