EC extends deadline for parties to name

Kathmandu, Dec 17 – The Election Commission has extended the deadline to submit the names under proportional representation category till December 25.

 

This is the second time the EC has extended the PR list submission deadline. Parties were initially expected to submit lists of proposed lawmakers by December 10 but the EC extended the deadline till December 18. The deadline is extended after the Maoists and major parties requested EC for more time.

 

The political parties will have three more weeks for forming a new government after the deadline to submit the names of the members of the Constituent Assembly ends.
