NC General Convention: Voting underway

KATHMANDU: Voting to elect the new Central Working Committee of the Nepali Congress (NC) is underway in Kathmandu as part of the party’s 15th General Convention.

Delegates began queuing at polling stations early in the morning to cast their ballots. The Election Committee has planned to begin counting votes immediately after polling concludes.

The election, initially scheduled for Thursday, was postponed due to adverse weather, technical problems and delays in printing ballot papers. Raju Katuwal, member secretary of the Election Committee, said the decision to hold voting in the morning was intended to spare delegates the inconvenience of voting late at night.
