Nepali Congress leadership election voting postponed

KATHMANDU: Voting for the leadership election under the 15th general convention of the Nepali Congress, which was scheduled for Thursday, has been postponed due to technical and managerial difficulties. The election committee stated that it was unable to begin the voting process at the designated time.

Raju Katuwal, member secretary of the election committee, explained that the process of technical verification, legitimacy testing, and registration took longer than expected due to the large number of participants, including 7,317 voters and 850 candidates. Additionally, time was required to resolve claims and objections raised during the process.
