By TRN Online, Kathmandu, Aug. 4: Chief Election
Commissioner Dinesh Kumar Thapaliya has informed that the Election Commission
(EC) has written to the government that the tenure of the present members of the
House of Representatives (HoR) and the Provincial Assembly (PA) will last till
December 7.
Although the tenure ends automatically after the
nomination, it needs to be corrected by making changes in the law and we have
written to the government in this regard, said the Chief Election Commissioner
at a press meet held today after the government decided to hold polls on
November 20.
He said that the Commission has been making internal preparations
for the poll and that the remaining 107 days are sufficient for the EC to hold
the poll in a free, fair, and peaceful manner.
