Jajarkot, Nov 7: The Nepali Congress has finalized the candidates for the by-election being held at two local levels in Jajarkot on December 1. The party committee in the respective local levels selected the candidates on Thursday.

NC’s Karnali Province committee chair Lalit Jung Shahi informed that Indra Chand Singh was recommended as a candidate for the position of vice chair of Nalgad Municipality, while Khamba Bahadur Singh was chosen for the post of chair at ward no 7 of Kushe Rural Municipality.

The post of vice chair at Nalgad Municipality has been vacant since the previous vice chair, Sarita Singh, was killed in the Jajarkot earthquake that occurred on November 3, 2023.

Similarly, the previous ward chair of Kushe-7, Man Bahadur Gharti, passed away in July 2022.

The CPN-UML has decided to nominate Sunita Bohara for Nalgad Municipality. However, the Maoist Centre has yet to make a decision in this regard. #election #nepal #jajarkot
