HoR, PA elections likely to be announced for Nov. 20: EC

By TRN Online, Kathmandu, July 26: The Election Commission has shared that the government is likely to fix November 20 as the date for holding the election for the members of the House of Representatives (HoR) and the Provincial Assemblies (PA).

Chief election commissioner Dinesh Kumar Thapaliya said so at a press meet held today.

"We had suggested holding the HoR and the PA elections on November 18, but if the government takes a decision through the upcoming Cabinet meeting to hold the elections on November 20 in a single phase, don't get surprised," said the chief election commission Thapaliya at the press meet.

He said the EC needs 120 days usually for preparation to hold the election, but since internal preparations are underway, the EC will hold the elections if announced for November 20 successfully.
