Kathmandu, Jan 21: Various speakers have said that although there were many challenges to hold elections of three tiers by January 2018 for constitution implementation, it was possible.
They also pointed out the need of continuous pressure and suggestion from the people to the government to formulate law required to hold the elections and to complete technical task related to preparation of the elections.
At a programme organised by Civil Defense Campaign, former Chief Election Commissioner Bhojraj Pokharel said that it was possible to hold the elections of three tiers if political parties wanted. So activeness should be shown to formulate the laws required for the same.
Pokharel said, “Continuous pressure and suggestion should be given to the government to hold the elections. Laws required for the same should be formulated soon.”
Similarly, another former Chief Election Commissioner Nilkantha Upreti said that although it was not impossible to hold the elections of three tiers within slated date, there are complexities and challenges.
He also said that it would be suitable to hold local poll before monsoon season as well as to hold election of province and centre on the same day.
Likewise, former Chief Justice Kalyan Shrestha said that though it was possible to hold the elections, it was necessary to make alert from all walks of life for the same.
The campaign was formed under the coordination of former CJ Kalyan Shrestha and more than 40 renowned persons of different sectors of the society are associated with the Campaign. RSS
